What makes this whisky so special
Taste the wine that made the ultimate single cask in our Glen Scotia 2013 Bordeaux Single Cask. Château Margaux is one of – if not the – finest Bordeaux, at the absolute pinnacle of the wine world. And the indescribable complexity of Premier Cru Bordeaux adds a certain je ne sais quois to our already droolworthy November Whisky of the Month.
Scotland’s most sought-after whisky region joins forces with France’s finest Bordeaux in the ultimate single cask, created exclusively for The Whisky Club.
There is ripeness and opulence to this, in an almost exotic and sassy way. Crushed berries with chocolate and spice. Floral and cashmere undertones. This starts off slowly and just rolls off the palate with beautifully polished tannins and a salty, minerally note to the long, extended tannins. Really brilliant. So classy. Structured. Try after 2025.

The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to reveal alluring notes of blackcurrant cordial, Black Forest cake and black raspberries with suggestions of candied violets, tilled soil, fallen leaves, licorice and espresso plus wafts of underbrush and rosehip tea. Medium-bodied, the elegance and finesse on the palate is simply bedazzling, exuding a quiet intensity of fresh black fruits layered with oh-so-subtle floral and earth nuances. It has a soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness to support the tightly wound flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful! This grand vin accounts for just 37% of the crop.
