Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery highlights and a mahogany-tinged depth.
Nose
Luxuriant, aged aroma of dried prunes and figs, infused with toffee, vanilla and dark chocolate. Sherry sweetness coats polished malt, while cinnamon, clove and nutmeg flicker through, with orange zest, cedar and a hint of tobacco in the background. Subtle oak and a waxy, resinous finish round the bouquet into a refined, long-lasting aroma.
Palate
Silky, sherried sweetness coats the palate with fig and raisin, dark chocolate, and toasted almond. Rich toffee and orange zest weave through warming spices—cinnamon and clove—while polished oak provides structure. Full-bodied and refined, the finish lingers with cocoa, dried fruit, and a gentle spice echo.
Finish
Long and elegant, Kinclaith's finish lingers with raisined fruit and dark chocolate, a gentle sherry sweetness weaving through warm spice and polished oak. Subtle leather and ember notes fade slowly, leaving a silky, refined glow that persists with quiet grace.
