Christmas Cake & Dark Chocolate & Medjool Dates & Cinnamon
Single Malt
Scotland
Festive flavours like Christmas cake, dark chocolate, medjool dates, and cinnamon are the name of the game here. And by "name of the game", we of course mean that Christmas Cake & Dark Chocolate & Medjool Dates & Cinnamon is literally the name of this whisky. What we've got is a superb Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, aged for eight years and boasting a sleighful of Yuletide elements, perfect for enjoying... Well, yeah, it'll obviously be brilliant at Christmas, and any whisky fan will be thrilled to find a bottle under the tree with their name on it. It'll probably be great any time of year if you're a lover of sherried single malt, thinking about it, but it does have that little bit of holly on the label, so, y'know, Christmas and that.
Dried fruit soaked in sherry, gingersnaps, brandy butter, clove, malty vanilla lingering underneath.
A big helping of orange as it arrives on the palate, soon joined by dark chocolate shavings, golden syrup, cinnamon sticks, dried cherry, dates, and shortbread.
The eponymous Christmas cake notes hang around for a good while afterwards, with hints of citrus oil and chocolate mousse.
Turns out that very descriptive name is... Well, it's very descriptive, and incredibly accurate, too!

Disappointing. Initial nose is exactly what it says on the bottle. But it's a chemical nose, like air freshener. The base whisky is harsh with little length or finish. It feels like a cheap whisky has been doctored in a lab with some flavourings. Not nice.
I bought a bottle of this last year and wasn't sure about it, but thought i'd give it another spin as sherried and sweeter whiskies are my thing, and have to say i'm really enjoying it this year. The nose is lovely with plenty going on when you taste it. the bottle is disappearing fast & i'll certainly be buying it again
For the price it’s really nice. Lovely drop for a cold winters night
I felt like getting into the Christmas spirit (pun intended) this year, and couldn’t resist getting myself a bottle of this… and yeah, tastes as described, the tasting notes are spot on. It’s delicious, it’s Christmas in a glass. If you like speyside whisky then I highly recommend.
Very easy drinking. Good to serve to someone who "doesn't like malt whisky" to show them what they are missing. We're on our third bottle.
