The Vaults Collection
Cask No. 94.14
Mansion house luxury
Highland, Northern
The nose evokes a mansion house – sitting in a leather wingback armchair with Turkish delight and chocolate toffees on a mahogany table with flower meadows beyond the open window. The delicate palate conveys summer blossoms and an abundance of summer fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), developing into spiced fruit cake and tobacco with a tickling finish of sloes and oak. The reduced nose finds a wooden counter in a flower shop, a vintage motor car, Highland toffee, spun sugar, Demerara, cream sponge and fig. The palate delights with lush cherries and flambéed banana, chocolate Swiss roll, chocolate ginger biscuits and chewy wood.

About The Vaults Collection:
The Vaults Collection is a selection of the finest and rarest single cask, single malt whisky, set aside from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s most remarkable stocks over the years. They have been released from the depths of our treasure trove of casks, after decades of slow maturation and careful nurturing. The Vaults Collection represents the whisky lover’s dream: A chance to journey back into whisky history, including the opportunity to experience styles or distilleries that no longer exist. The Collection takes its name from the Society’s historical home at The Vaultsin Leith, Scotland’s oldest commercial building in continuous use whose connection with the drinks world dates back to the 12th century. Each bottle has a specially designed label and is offered in a beautiful wooden box.
