Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich sherry-dusted aroma with dark fruit and refined oak. Fig and raisin mingle with orange zest and malt, while hazelnut, almond paste and toffee lend sweetness. A thread of spice—nutmeg and clove—adds warmth, underpinned by a whisper of leather and cocoa. A luxurious, time-worn bouquet that promises a patient, exceptional maturation.

Millburn (silent)
(Mill-Burn) Millburn is a lost Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery from Inverness, with possible origins dating back as early as 1805, although whisky production does not appear to have begun at that time. It was the oldest of the three remaining Inverness distilleries that were all closed during the 1980s, alongside Glen Albyn and Glen Mhor.
