Speyside Distillery Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Whisky 25 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery glints and a mahogany-tinged edge, a warm, shimmering hue.

Nose

Rich sherry warmth unfolds with dried fig and raisin, orange zest and date, intertwined with tawny toffee and vanilla. Subtle cocoa and toasted almond notes add depth, while delicate spice—nutmeg and cinnamon—drifts over polished oak, yielding a refined, luxurious aroma that whispers in a grand Speyside library.

Palate

Velvety and refined on the palate, with rich dried fruit, fig and orange zest, glazed in sherry oak. Notes of treacle, almond and cocoa unfold in the mid-palate, followed by a long, warm finish of spice, leather and oak sweetness.

Finish

Long, refined finish with toasted oak, fig and dried fruit, and a subtle sherry lift. Cocoa, caramel and spice emerge, then fade to a warm, nutty sweetness that lingers in a polished, velvety glow.
