Strathmill 12 Year Old Tasting Notes

Nose: A beautiful buttery aroma reminiscent of freshly baked pastries. The scent of Valencia oranges and delicate flowers can also be detected, along with a subtle hint of pear.

Palate: Fresh dough, toffee, and dark berries are immediately apparent, accompanied by a syrupy mouthfeel that is both rich and satisfying. A subtle touch of menthol adds a refreshing quality to the taste, while a hint of white asparagus lends a slightly earthy note to the overall profile.

Finish: Long and lingering, with a subtle spiciness that is reminiscent of freshly crushed white pepper.

Overall: The use of fresh Tawny Port Quarter casks during the last 2 years of the ageing process is very evident, adding a subtle sweetness and complexity to the final whisky, with notes of various nuts, milk chocolate and dried fruits. This whisky is a true delight for the senses, offering a complex yet balanced profile that is sure to please even the most discerning of drinkers.
