Red Hackle Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a tawny, sherry-influenced glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led bouquet of dark fruit: raisin, fig and plum, kissed by orange zest and cherry. Toasted oak delivers vanilla and almond, while cocoa, espresso and a touch of spice (cinnamon, clove) deepen the aroma. A whisper of leather and tobacco lingers, completing a velvety, mature nose.

Palate

Silky, mouth-coating and warming, the palate unfolds with rich toffee and dark chocolate, lifted by orange zest and fig. Sherry-cask influence brings dried-fruit sweetness, almond notes and a gentle spice of cinnamon and nutmeg, all wrapped in creamy vanilla oak. The finish is long and velvet, with a lingering warmth and polished balance.

Finish

An elegant, lingering finish of dried red fruit, cocoa and orange zest, lifted by sherry sweetness and polished oak. Subtle spice coats the palate as a faint wisp of smoke fades, leaving a warm, velvety fade that invites the next sip.
