Tamdhu The Macphail's Collection Whisky 40 Year Old · 1971 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-bronze glow and mahogany edges.

Nose

Opulent sherry envelops the nose, with dried fig, raisin and candied orange peel, studded by a molasses-like sweetness. Rich vanilla and toffee mingle with polished oak, while cocoa nibs and warm spice—cinnamon and clove—lend depth, finished by a subtle whisper of leather and cedar.

Palate

Silky, sherried richness coats the palate, with raisin, fig and dried plum mingling with honeyed toffee, orange zest and roasted almond. Spices—cinnamon, clove and a hint of ginger—intertwine with velvety oak, while cocoa lingers in the background. The texture is luxurious and the finish long, warm, and fruit-laden with a refined tobacco nuance.

Finish

An exceptionally long, luxurious finish lingers with velvety sherry fruit, dried fig and orange zest, soothed by cocoa and espresso. Gentle spice settles into toasted oak and tobacco hints, fading to a refined, caramel-kissed warmth.
