About
Old Perth 1996 is a sophisticated blended malt from Scotland's Lowlands, expertly crafted by Morrison & Mackay. This 23-year-old expression was matured in refill sherry casks, delivering a rich and complex dram that showcases the depth of Scottish malt whisky tradition. With its natural amber hue and robust 54.40% ABV, this bottling demonstrates authentic character and maturity. The nose presents an enticing array of sherry-driven aromas featuring leather, sticky toffee, and dried fruits including apricot and orange peel. The palate offers a big, rounded body with deep cake spices, dark chocolate, and umami notes, while sherry emerges gracefully on the mid-palate. The finish is medium-length and distinctly spicy, with cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper giving way to herbal and peppery dry notes. This whisky pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, caramel desserts, or as a contemplative after-dinner dram.
