Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with burnished copper highlights and a mahogany-gold glow, deep and inviting as it catches the light.
Nose
An elegant, contemplative nose. Polished oak and malt mingle with rich sherry sweetness, unfolding layers of dried fig and raisin. Hints of toasted almond, cocoa nib, and orange zest emerge, while wisps of leather and spice deepen the complexity. Quietly luxurious, with a refined, creamy fruitiness and a warm, wood-kissed finish.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied on the palate, this Millburn unfurls layers of rich dried fruit—prune, fig and a hint of orange—courted by velvety sherry. Cocoa, espresso and toasted almond rise with subtle spice notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Oak remains refined and integrated, leading to a long, warm finish with hints of leather and praline.
Finish
An enduring, velvet finish with sherry-darkened fruit—plum and fig—backed by toasted oak and cocoa, unfolding into a warm finale of cinnamon and clove that lingers softly on the palate.
