Loch Lomond Inchmurrin - Chieftain's Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-bronze edges and a warm, honey-gold glow.

Nose

Sherry-warmed perfume of ripe dark plum and raisin, with orange zest, fig and toffee. Subtle praline, cocoa and almond mingle with oak and a hint of leather, yielding a warm, velvety aroma.

Palate

Sherry-kissed and opulent, the palate is luscious and full-bodied, with creamy toffee and fig sweetness giving way to dark chocolate, orange zest, and toasted almond. Rich dried fruit notes mingle with polished oak and a whisper of spice. Velvety texture coats the mouth, balanced by a suave, slightly saline edge. Long, warming finish of spice, cocoa, and dried fruit that lingers with refined elegance.

Finish

Long, luscious finish with honeyed fruit, dried apricot and fig lingering on the palate. Sherry influences impart a gentle, nutty sweetness, balanced by oak, cocoa, and subtle spice, fading to a warm, toasted almond finale.
