Lismore 15 Year Old

Lismore 15 Year Old is a highly accessible and satisfying single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, released by the independent bottling firm William Lundie & Co. (now overseen by J&G Grant). Known in the whisky world as a "mystery malt," the exact distillery of origin remains strictly undisclosed, although it is widely rumored to be sourced from the esteemed Glenfarclas distillery due to the brand's ownership ties. Aged for 15 years in oak casks, this expression delivers a classic, traditional Speyside profile characterized by a delicate balance of sweet orchard fruits, rich honey, and subtle toasted oak. It serves as an excellent, value-driven dram that beautifully captures the elegant and approachable style of the region.

Food Pairing: Roasted salted almonds, aged cheddar or gouda cheese, dried fruit and nut platters, baked apple desserts, or rich fruitcake.

Tasting Notes : Warm golden amber in appearance with a smooth, velvety, and medium-to-full bodied mouthfeel.

Nose : Inviting aromas of salty roasted nuts, sweet apricot marmalade, floral honey, and baked cake, accented by subtle hints of toasted oak and vanilla.

Palate : Smooth and well-balanced, presenting a dry-yet-fruity profile with rich flavors of raisin toast, warm brown baking spices, sweet vanilla custard, and a delicate malt backbone.

Finish : Long, elegant, and gently warming, leaving a lingering impression of spicy fruit chutney, sweet floral honey, and mild toasted oak.

Serve : Serve neat in a Glencairn glass or with a splash of room-temperature water to fully open up its sweet fruity and floral aromatics.
