Tasting Notes Profile:

Nose:
Powerful and expressive, the nose opens with intense aromas of baked apple, toffee-glazed pecans, and brûléed banana. Beneath the sweetness, notes of damp oak, clove, and warm pastry spice unfurl, accompanied by a rising herbal complexity—think dried mint, fennel seed, and distant hints of menthol. A few drops of water reveal softer elements: vanilla cream, heather honey, and a touch of lemon balm.

Palate:
Bold and commanding, the palate delivers a rush of concentrated flavor—ripe pear, caramelized brown sugar, and dark orchard fruits swirl together over a firm backbone of oak tannin, cinnamon bark, and black pepper. The high ABV is assertive yet balanced, allowing the whisky to unfold in waves of heat, texture, and sweetness. With time and water, notes of roasted nuts, orange oil, and dark chocolate ganache emerge, deepening the complexity.

Finish:
Long, warm, and evolving. The finish delivers sustained notes of spiced fruitcake, charred oak, and molasses, tapering into lingering impressions of black tea, vanilla pod, and a gentle resinous dryness. A grand finale to a whisky of serious depth and stature.

Overall:
Gordon & MacPhail’s Teaninich Cask #7010 is a masterclass in single cask maturation—rich, powerful, and intensely characterful. Bottled at natural cask strength and presented under the Private Collection banner, it represents the pinnacle of bespoke whisky craftsmanship. This is a dram for those who appreciate full-bodied Highland complexity, long aging, and the raw purity of single-cask Scotch. Ideal for slow contemplation, celebration, or as a centerpiece in a world-class collection.
