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!

The label nearly put me off ! Even though it does what it says on the bottle. Might have been better labelled large with the distillers name. I don't mind buying from small distillers procuring casks from various places. I prefer sweeter Speysides. I once had a Caol Ila 2006 that tasted more Suchard than Scotch which was a real surprise coming from Islay. They are much more expensive now, so pound for pound at 8 years, pretty good effort! Friends love it.
I bought this as the name suggested lots of lovely tasting notes. The reality was a harsh and cheap dram. Not like Christmas cake at all, just a harsh burn.
This wasnt for me, it was a gift for my husband. He loved it so imagine I will be buying another bottle.
I was so looking forward to this. The aroma is so inviting. Unfortunately I was left with a chemical soapy taste on my palate after drinking which spoiled the experience. I can’t drink it.
Hot, not spicy, just burn. Astringent sourness. Unpleasant palate. Immature.
