Kinclaith (silent) Duncan Taylor Rarest Of The Rare Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 36 Year Old · 1969 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with warm mahogany undertones and copper highlights.

Nose

Aromas of rich dried fruit: plum, fig and raisin, lifted by orange zest and dark chocolate. Leather and tobacco add depth, with walnut and polished oak providing nutty wood notes. Cinnamon and clove weave through a warm, toffee-tinged core, while a waxy, sherried veil lingers on the nose.

Palate

Kinclaith reveals a silky, full-bodied palate with dark fig and plum fruit, praline and dark chocolate, plus a hint of orange zest and baking spice. Rich sherry coats polished oak as the 50.1% ABV lends warmth and a tactile bite that expands into a long walnut and tobacco-tinged finish.

Finish

Luxurious and long, the finish unfurls with sherried sweetness—dried fig, orange zest, and cocoa—touched by cinnamon and clove. Oak and a whisper of tobacco cloak the palate as the warmth slowly fades into a velvety, nutty afterglow.
