Teaninich Fine Malt Selection Whisky Miniature 18 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a sun-warmed honey-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent and inviting, this Teaninich offers a sherried bouquet of dried fig, raisin and prune, braided with orange zest and vanilla. Rich almond, cinnamon and clove spices unfold over polished oak, while dark chocolate and espresso whispers add depth. A warm, noble maltiness lingers, balanced by a subtle mineral lift that hints at the Highlands.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious, Teaninich 1973 18yo delivers a rich, sherried sweetness enlivened by dark fruits—raisin, fig, date—woven with caramel and toasted almond. Vanilla, resinous oak, and a touch of citrus zest provide lift, while peppery spice and cocoa nibs impart movement. The finish is long, warming, and slightly smoky, with tobacco whispers and polished oak.

Finish

Long, warming finish with dark fruit and cocoa notes evolving into vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle Christmas spice. Prune and raisin persist, while a gentle peppery bite lingers, leaving a velvety, bittersweet warmth that coats the mouth.
