Aroma: Inviting aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as mango and papaya, accompanied by notes of creamy vanilla and honey. Slight hints of oak and a subtle spiciness round off the bouquet.

Flavour: Soft and smooth with a harmonious balance between sweet and spicy notes. At the beginning, aromas of caramelised apples and pears dominate, followed by a light honey sweetness and creamy vanilla. Fine oak notes and a hint of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg unfold in the background.

Finish: Long-lasting and warming with a pleasantly sweet aftertaste. The fruity notes slowly fade away, leaving a hint of spicy oak and a subtle nuttiness.

This 26-year-old Dumbarton is an excellent example of the quality and maturity that can be achieved in a long-matured single grain whisky. A real treat for connoisseurs and lovers of rare bottlings.
