Whyte & Mackay Special Selected Blended Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling)

Colour

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

Nose

Rich, inviting nose of toasted oak and toffee, with sherry-inflected dried fruit sweetness. Notes of fig and orange zest mingle with vanilla and almond, while a subtle chocolate accent and gentle spice drift through, finished by a delicate whisper of smoke.

Palate

Silky and generous on the palate, with caramel-toffee sweetness and layered dried-fruit depth. Sherry-cask warmth adds oak, spice (nutmeg, orange zest), and a cocoa-hinted undertone, unfolding into a long, refined finish.

Finish

Silky and enduring, the finish coats the palate with sherry-soft sweetness, dark fruit, and hints of toffee. Subtle spice and vanilla mingle through the oak, fading to a warm, refined glow with a bright orange zest lift that lingers and invites the next sip.
