Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste & Sensory Profile
- Nose: Rich and multi-layered. Expect aromas of stewed fruits, malty cereal, and toffee. There are lighter notes of marzipan, almonds, and fresh-cut flowers.
- Palate: Silky and full-bodied. The flavor profile is defined by honeyed fruit, creamy vanilla custard, and caramelized apples. Mid-palate, you'll find a hint of dark chocolate and orange zest.
- Finish: Long, warm, and sumptuous. It leaves a delicate trail of gentle smoke, sweet oak spice, and cinnamon.
Food Pairings
The refined, sweet-yet-smoky profile makes this 18-year-old blend exceptionally food-friendly:
- Savory: Seared Scallops or Smoked Salmon. The subtle peat smoke in the whisky complements smoked fish, while the citrus notes cut through the richness.
- Cheese: Aged Gouda or Mild Blue Cheese. The nutty, caramel-like notes of an aged Gouda harmonize with the almond and toffee in the blend.
- Dessert: Dark Chocolate or Rhubarb Crumble. The dark chocolate finish of the whisky makes it a natural partner for cocoa-rich desserts.
- The "Celebration" Serve: This is a luxury blend meant to be sipped neat or with a few drops of water to open up the fruitier Speyside notes. It can also be enjoyed with a single large ice cube.
About the brand
Originally launched as a travel-retail exclusive in 2011, the Platinum Label was inspired by the Walker family's tradition of creating "Private Blends" for their own directors and special associates.
