Millburn (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 26 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Opulent sherry envelops the nose, with dark fruit taking the lead: fig, raisin and date, brightened by orange zest and a hint of cherry. Burnt sugar and toffee weave through praline-like sweetness, while toasted almond, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove add warmth. Polished oak lends elegance, and a whisper of leather and tobacco smoke lingers to finish the aromatic tapestry.

Palate

Silky and refined, the palate unfurls dark fruit and sherry sweetness, with fig and raisin draped in velvet. Dried citrus peel and toasted almond brighten against velvety oak, while cocoa and gentle spice—clove and nutmeg—linger. A warm, elegant finish with soft tannins and a long raisiny echo.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with mellow sherry sweetness, revealing dried cherry and fig, cocoa and toasted almond. Soft-spice notes of cinnamon and clove ride a velvety oak backbone, leaving a refined, lingering warmth on the palate.
