Whyte & Mackay Supreme Rare Old Scotch 70 Proof 1960s (35%)

This is a blended Scotch whisky from Whyte & Mackay, sold under the Supreme Rare Old Scotch name in the 1960s. It is labelled at 70 proof, which the listing gives as 35% abv. The nose is rich with sherry and dried fruit, including raisins, figs and orange peel, alongside polished oak, antique leather, heather honey, soft smoke, nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is silky, with toffee, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, spiced orange and cinnamon, and hints of espresso and herbal dryness. The finish is long, with lingering fruit, spice and oak, a touch of smoke and mint, and a dry fade with a sweet echo.
