White Horse Fine Old Blended Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling)

Colour

Rich, warm amber with honey-gold radiance, coppery highlights and a faint mahogany glow at the rim.

Nose

Intense peat smoke interwoven with sea-salted brine, a shimmering sherry backbone lending dark fruit and cocoa notes. Dried fig, raisin and toffee rise from velvety oak, while a whisper of leather and spice completes a refined, old-blend profile.

Palate

Silky and robust on the palate, it carries a lacquered sweetness from sherry casks, entwined with Lagavulin-esque peat and maritime salt. Rich raisin and fig notes mingle with dark chocolate and toasted oak, delivering a velvety mouthfeel that grows in depth. A warm, lingering finish of smoke, spice, and gentle nuttiness.

Finish

Long and velvety, the finish opens with peat smoke and coastal salt, then unfurls into rich sherry sweetness—fig, raisin and dark chocolate—layered over toasted oak. A warm, refined fade lingers gracefully, with smoky fruit and spice closing in a lasting, resinous glow.
