Strathmill James MacArthur Fine Malt Whisky Miniature 11 Year Old · 1985 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with warm copper-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany

Nose

Delicate and inviting, this Strathmill opens with honeyed orchard fruit, vanilla cream and toasted almond. A subtle sherry kiss deepens the aroma with figs and sultanas, walnut and spice notes of nutmeg and clove. Bright citrus zest lends lift, while a hint of cocoa adds polish.

Palate

Silky and medium-bodied, the palate opens with sherried sweetness and bright orchard fruit—pear, apple, a note of orange zest. Honeyed malt folds in almond and fig, while gentle spice and polished oak add depth. It finishes long and refined, with dried fruit, vanilla, and a subtle cocoa echo.

Finish

Long and velvety, the finish unveils dark prune and fig, woven with cocoa and toasted almond. A gentle kiss of spice—nutmeg and clove—pads the palate while oak sweetness lingers, warming the senses as it gradually fades to a refined, honeyed glow.
