Strathisla Connoisseurs Choice - Single Cask #219484 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2006 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery highlights.

Nose

Intense sherry-driven aroma of dark dried fruits—prune, fig and raisin—layered with orange zest, toffee and roasted almond. Rich chocolate notes mingle with cinnamon and clove spice, braided by polished oak. A velvety, warm scent of caramelized sugar and a hint of leather, signaling a beautifully mature single malt.

Palate

Velvety and intensely sherried, the palate paints a tapestry of fig and raisin with dark chocolate, toffee and orange zest. Rich oak and spice mingle, delivering a warming, full-bodied profile that lingers with dried fruit and a nutty, long finish.

Finish

Long, decadent finish of sherried fruit, with raisin and fig giving way to dark chocolate and orange zest. Warming notes of cinnamon and ginger mingle with toasted oak, fading to a silky, resinous echo that lingers with a velvety, slightly nutty undertone.
