North British Fragrant Drops Single Cask #428611 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep coppery amber with a ruby-red glow.

Nose

Rich red fruit aromas surge: cherry, raspberry and blackberry with plum notes, jammy sweetness, and a wine-driven depth. Layered spice—cinnamon, clove—and toasted oak mingle with vanilla, cocoa and a touch of resin, all underscored by the lush, weighty perfume from the red wine barrique.

Palate

Full, velvety and richly concentrated, this whisky coats the palate with a wine-dark weight. Red-wine barrique delivers dark berry and plum jam with lush sweetness, while spice—cinnamon and clove—and oak tannins provide lift. A warm, syrupy texture persists, and the 58.2% ABV adds backbone, yielding a long, indulgent finish that mirrors the wine-influenced fruit-forward core.

Finish

Long, velvety finish where dark red fruit and jammy berries linger, woven with wine-spice and oak. The weighty, satin texture coats the palate as a warm, barrel-driven sweetness slowly fades to a refined, lingering dryness.
