Teaninich Claxton's Exploration Series Oloroso Finish Whisky 15 Year Old

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinted rim.

Nose

On the nose, a luxurious Oloroso lift settles into the glass: dried figs, prunes and dark raisins entwine with walnut and toffee, etched by burnt sugar. Orange zest peeks through warm spices and polished oak, while cocoa and espresso notes lend depth. A velvety sweetness and subtle leather echo the sherry cask, promising a refined, grandly sherried profile to come.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with a luxurious sherry glow. Raisin, fig and dried apricot mingle with orange zest and dark chocolate, while toasted almond and warm spice emerge mid-palate. Velvety oak tannins lend structure, guiding a long, indulgent finish.

Finish

Long, indulgent finish with Oloroso warmth: rich dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—rise with toffee, orange zest and dark chocolate, seasoned by nutty notes and toasted oak. A gentle spice carries through to a velvety, warming fade that lingers softly.
