Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinged depth.
Nose
Sherry-rich and fruit-forward, the nose opens with prune, fig, and raisin, brightened by orange zest. Cocoa, vanilla, and caramel weave through toasted oak, while faint leather and spice add depth. A refined, mellow aroma that hints at age and cask maturity—silky, elegant, and inviting the first contemplative sip.
Palate
Silky and gently sherried, this Kinclaith coats the palate with dried plum and fig atop a honeyed, malty core. Orange zest, vanilla and almond intertwine through a soft oak spice, yielding a warm, cocoa-tinted finish that lingers with quiet elegance.
Finish
Long, elegant finish of softened oak and honeyed fruit; orange zest and gentle spice linger, yielding cocoa and almond notes that slowly fade into a warm, oak-driven glow.
