Tasting Notes

Nose: Fragrant apricot compôte, candied peach and vanilla custard drift over blossom honey, toasted almond and a faint hint of heather smoke. Palate: Silky layers of honey-drizzled pear, crème brûlée and sweet malt glide across the tongue, followed by Sauternes-driven notes of orange marmalade, ginger spice and a soft oak warmth. Finish: Medium-long and gently warming—lingering golden-raisin sweetness, subtle tannin and a final flourish of creamy vanilla and distant peat ember.

Savour Highland versatility polished by dessert-wine opulence in Loch Lomond 28 Year Old – 1996 Vintage, Murray McDavid “Mission Gold.” After decades of quiet maturation, this single malt received an extended finish in luscious Sauternes wine casks, where honeyed stone-fruit and delicate botrytis notes intertwined with Loch Lomond’s fruity, gently smoky spirit. Bottled in 2025 at a refined 48 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 686 individually numbered bottles showcase an elegant union of Speyside-style fruit, subtle Highland smoke and Bordeaux dessert-wine richness.
