Teaninich Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 2004 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm mahogany edge, glistening like sunset in a glass.

Nose

Fresh malt sweetness with orchard fruit and lemon zest, folded into gentle sherry notes. Vanilla and almond mingle with polished oak, a whisper of spice and faint maritime breeze. Elegant, bright and inviting, it hints at a well-balanced Highland dram.

Palate

Silky on the palate, it opens with bright citrus zest and orchard fruit, giving way to sherry-influenced depth of fig, raisin, and almond. Creamy vanilla and gentle oak weave through a light-to-medium body, while spice—ginger and white pepper—lingers, finishing with warm caramel and a refined, nutty dryness.

Finish

Long, warm finish with pronounced sherry notes lingering into dried fruits, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon. Toasted oak supports a creamy praline sweetness, slowly fading to a refined, velvety tail that echoes softly with subtle coastal hints.
