Tasting Notes

Colour

Burnished amber-gold with coppery honey highlights, a warm, smoky hue.

Nose

Earthy, minerally apples meet lime zest, with herbal, soapy notes of fresh laundry. A delicate halo of candyfloss sweetness, hints of toffee and a gentle wisp of smoke.

Palate

Oily, mouth-coating palate of warm rum and ginger fudge, mineral apple core, herbal undertones, candied citrus and a subtle coal-smoke lift.

Finish

Apple bon-bons linger with mineral brightness, a ginger-soda spark gives way to drying singed herbs and oak smoke, leaving a smoky, orchard-fresh finish that invites another sip.

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.
