Stewarts Cream Of The Barley Special Reserve Whisky

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery-bronze highlights and tawny mahogany edges; a molten, sun-kissed bronze that glows with warmth and quiet opulence.

Nose

Opulent, creamy barley sweetness opens with vanilla and honey, inviting plush creaminess. Sherry-cask influence layers dark fruit—raisin, fig, a hint of dried apricot—alongside almond, cocoa, and a touch of toffee. Spices—clove, cinnamon—drift over polished oak, adding warming complexity. The nose exudes luxury, hinting at a velvety, full-bodied palate.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, it unfolds with velvety creaminess and a warm sherried sweetness. Rich dried fruit—raisin, fig, and cherry—layer with mocha, toffee, and cinnamon. Soft oak from the barley backbone offers gentle spice and a hint of leather. Finishes long and balanced, with lingering toffee, cocoa, and a whisper of tobacco.

Finish

An enduring finish built on dark dried fruits—figs and currants—plus toasted almond and cacao, carried by a gentle sherry sweetness. Subtle spice and polished oak linger, warming the palate with velvet softness.
