Undisclosed Speyside Ballindalloch Castle Whisky Miniature 23 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished mahogany depth and coppery highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherry notes unfold into a chorus of dark fruits—fig, raisin, date—woven with toffee, orange zest, and cocoa. Nutty almond nougat and polished oak mingle with a whisper of leather and tobacco, delivering old-world Speyside refinement and a poised, matured aroma.

Palate

Silky on the palate with layers of dark fig and plum, balanced by bright orange zest and raisin. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice over toasted oak, while cocoa and almond notes deepen the profile. Creamy texture with a gentle warmth from 43% ABV, unfolding to a long, refined finish of fruit, spice and polished oak.

Finish

An enduring, luxurious finish that unfolds slowly with fig and raisin, dark chocolate, and orange zest. Sherry-softened oak lingers, delivering toasted spice, a whisper of leather, and a polished, syrupy sweetness that fades to a warm, toasted-nut glow.
