Speyburn Single Cask Whisky 21 Year Old · 1978 Vintage

Colour

Rich, deep amber with mahogany hues and a warm copper-golden glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose: dried figs, raisins and orange zest mingle with treacle, dark chocolate and toasted oak. Vanilla nuances meet nutmeg and clove, while a subtle leather note adds depth. Concentrated yet poised, the aroma hints at the depth to come.

Palate

Powerfully rich and unctuous, this Speyburn delivers sherry-kissed depth: dark plum and raisin mingle with toffee, fig and bitter chocolate. Cinnamon and clove thread through velvety oak, while a warm, resinous finish lingers with peppery spice and a cocoa-tinged sweetness from the 1978 single cask.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of dark prune and orange zest, layered over rich, polished oak. Sherry-influenced sweetness lingers with raisin and fig, while vanilla and cocoa unfold into a warm, velvety tail that slowly fades to refined sweetness and a quiet spice.
