Miltonduff Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a coppery sheen and sun-bronzed edges; a rich, honeyed glow that hints at sherry-kissed depth.

Nose

Opulent malt and vanilla give way to dark fruit—raisins, prunes and fig—layered with treacle and cocoa. Sherry-aged oak adds warmth and spice: cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, with orange zest and honeyed sweetness. At cask strength, a plush, oak-laden aroma lingers, inviting a decadent, dessert-like prelude.

Palate

Powerful yet refined, the palate offers dried fig, raisin and orange zest mingling with milk chocolate and toasted almond. Rich malt, toffee and vanilla weave through cinnamon and black pepper, delivering a velvety mouthfeel. A sumptuous, lingering finish under bold cask-strength warmth.

Finish

Long, opulent and curiously bold, the finish unfurls with sherry-softened oak as dried fig and prune mingle with warming spices. Treacle sweetness fades into dark chocolate, orange zest and peppery warmth, leaving a lingering, velvet-soft finale that recalls its cask-strength depth.
