William Lawson's Blended Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling)

Colour

Deep golden amber with sun-soaked honey hues and a warm bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-influenced aroma, with dried fig and raisin rising alongside orange zest and toffee. Vanilla and almond mingle with cocoa nibs, while polished oak adds depth. A gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—lends warmth, hinting at a well-matured blend with fruit-forward sweetness and refined character.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with a gentle oiliness. Dried-fruit sweetness—raisin and apricot—meets vanilla, biscuit and malt. Sherry-cask influence adds nutty almond, cocoa and subtle spice, balanced by toasted oak. Finish is long and refined, carried by caramel warmth and a hint of fruit that lingers gracefully.

Finish

Long and sherried, this finish carries dried plum and fig with toasted almond, then folds in cocoa and spice. Orange zest and a hint of leather drift through, leaving a warm, polished nuttiness and a gentle, lingering sweetness that invites the next sip.
