Teaninich Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Unboxed) 23 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold brilliance and whispering mahogany edges, a warm, sunlit glow that hints at its sherry-soaked maturity.

Nose

Opulent sherry and oak on the nose, with dark fruit—prune, fig, raisin—drifting over orange zest, vanilla and cocoa. Toasted almond and caramel add richness, while nutmeg and cinnamon weave in as spice. A telling warmth from the high ABV threads a resinous lift through the aroma, finishing with cedar and tobacco hints.

Palate

Oil-rich and unabashedly powerful, this sherried dram coats the palate with fig, raisin and date, woven with orange zest, cocoa and toffee. Vanilla and spice rise from the oak—cinnamon and clove—backed by a mounting ABV warmth. The finish is long and velvety, with espresso, leather and toasted nuts lingering.

Finish

Very long, luxurious finish. Sherry-influenced fruit, fig and raisin, with dark chocolate notes drift through rich oak and subtle spice. The warmth lingers, growing into a peppery, coffee-kissed tail, supported by silky tannins and a final whisper of tobacco as the echoes fade.
