Westport 15 Year Old Tasting Notes

Official notes

Nose: Apple, pear, vanilla, citrus and barley.

Palate: Honey, peaches, allspice, oak.

Finish: Honey and citrus.

Ed's review

Colour: Natural colour; light gold, like a chardonnay.

Nose: Apple juice and pear skins. Apple drop sweets. Oak, vanilla pods, and a dusting of cinnamon.

Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Icing sugar brings sweetness, followed by orchard fruits with apples and pears. A gentle oak character and a little vanilla. A little white pepper warmth adds welcome balance to the sweetness.

Finish: Medium to long finish. A crescendo with orchard fruit, then wood spice, leaving the palate bright and warm, ready for another sip.

Overall: Another enjoyable, fruity Speyside.

About Heroes and Heretics The Macnab

Based on the novel John Macnab, in which three well-respected members of society challenge themselves to take a stag, a salmon and a brace of grouse within 48 hours. Heroes & Heretics have sourced a beautiful 15 year old Westport single cask to celebrate the tradition of the Macnab.

Westport is not itself a distillery, but instead, Glenmorangie combined with a teaspoon of another distillery – this is commonly referred to as a teaspoon malt. Like the setting of the John Macnab novel, Glenmorangie is rooted firmly in the Highlands of Scotland.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.
