Description from the seller
The Observatory 25 Year Old is a Single Grain Scotch Whisky from the Signature Series collection. Aged for a quarter of a century and bottled at 40% ABV, this spirit stands out for offering excellent value for money for its advanced age category.
The detailed profile of this whisky includes the following characteristics:
• Origin and Distillery: Produced in the Highlands region of Scotland by the Macduff distillery (under MacDuff International Ltd).
• Maturation Style: Aged in oak casks for 25 years, utilizing mostly Bourbon and Sherry casks.
• Tasting Notes:
• Nose: Full-bodied aroma with noticeable notes of dried fruit, honey, and a light touch of refined oak.
• Palader: Very silky, creamy, and balanced texture. Sweet flavors of vanilla, caramel, and malt stand out, accompanied by a subtle presence of spices.
• Finish: Long, velvety, and with a very elegant woody warmth.
• Presentation: Sold in a 700 ml bottle and typically distributed in a protective gift box.
The Observatory 20 Year Old (Signature Series) is an elegant and aged Single Grain Scotch Whisky, known for its smoothness and excellent value for money for a spirit with two decades of maturation.
Below are the essential details about this bottle:
Technical Profile
• Type: Single Grain Scotch Whisky (produced from grains at a single distillery).
• Age: 20 years of maturation.
• Aging: 100% in American oak casks that previously contained Bourbon.
• Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 40%.
• Creator: Crafted by Stephanie Macleod, one of the few female Master Blenders in the whisky world (famous for her work at Dewar's).
• Origin: Its name and the lighthouse on the label pay tribute to the lighthouses and observatories on the Scottish coast. The stock for this batch comes from the Macduff distillery area.
Tasting Notes
Unlike Single Malts, which tend to be more full-bodied or smoky, grain whiskies stand out for their lightness and creamy sweetness:
• Nose: Very aromatic and smooth. Strong notes of vanilla, toffee, sweet cereals, and fruity hints of ripe wild berries stand out.
• Palate: Soft and silky mouthfeel, without the sharpness of alcohol. It reveals flavors of milk chocolate, marshmallow, lemon tart, creamy vanilla, and a light toasted woody touch from the oak.
• Finish: Medium to long, delicate, and balanced, leaving a sweet aftertaste of cocoa and vanilla.
