A 40-year-old Teaninich from independent bottler Speciality Drinks as part of the Single Malts of Scotland range. Distilled on 21 December 1973, it was aged (unusually) in a sherry puncheon, and bottled on 23 December 2013. Limited to just 98 bottles, this is rich yet elegant, and the oak is well balanced against dark chocolate orange – delicious.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by Stuart P

    • Nose

      Rye bread with salted butter, then aromatic notes of rose petals and red-berry fruits arrive, with a punchy sherbet aroma, too.

    • Palate

      Given its age, you’d expect the oak to make its presence felt, but here it takes a back seat, with the cherry-rich fruit and some freshly cracked black pepper taking the lead. Some richness in the form of cherry cake adds complexity, too.

    • Finish

      Lovely balance between the fruit, oak and spice.

  • Tasting Notes by Rocky

    • Nose

      Rich and sweet nose with heather honey, dark chocolate and clove backed up by lime peel.

    • Palate

      Creamy texture, with dark chocolate orange, a lemon freshness, a light oakiness and a spicy clove backbone.

    • Finish

      Long, with the spiciness very persistent.

    • Comment

      A rich, yet in many ways elegant 40 year old. For a whisky of this age, the oak isn't overpowering and all the flavours are very well integrated.
