Strathmill The Managers Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper reflections and a mahogany-tinged edge.

Nose

Opulent nose of polished malt and ripe orchard fruit—apricot, baked apple and pear—lifted by rich sherry. Dried fig and raisin mingle with toasted almond, dark chocolate, and a kiss of spice (cinnamon, clove) over vanilla-caramel oak, yielding velvety sweetness and stately depth.

Palate

Opulent and warming, the palate opens with dark fruit—raisin, fig and cherry—intertwined with orange zest, cocoa and toasted oak. Sherry influence weaves through a peppery, spiced core, delivering a full, velvety texture that coats the tongue and lingers with caramelized sweetness and warm leather notes.

Finish

Long and indulgent, the finish is sherried and velvety, unfolding dark fruits, fig and raisin, with cocoa, espresso and orange zest. Warming spice and toasted oak linger, a touch of leather fading into the tail.
