Murray McDavid Dion Laoch Mystery Malt Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent Speyside perfume: dried fig and raisin layered with baked apple and pear, enlivened by orange zest. Vanilla, toffee and almond drift from polished oak, while a subtle sherry polish lends chocolatey depth and spice. A warm, inviting aroma hinting at patient cask refinement and quiet prestige.

Palate

Silky and well balanced on the palate, this Speyside dram layers dried-fruit richness—fig, raisin and orange zest—with toasted almond, vanilla and a gentle sherry warmth. Subtle spice rounds the edges, while cocoa-dark notes and honeyed sweetness weave through the mid-palate, finishing with refined oak and a citrus-tinted, lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, warm and elegant, the finish carries rich sherry notes of dried fruit and cocoa, layered with toasted oak and gentle spice. Raisin and orange rind emerge, fading to leather and almond as a silky sweetness lingers, leaving a refined, dessert-like tail that slowly dissolves into the palate.
