Martin’s De Luxe 12 Year Old Blended Scotch is a vintage export-only blend from James Martin & Co., bottled at 43% ABV and once a staple in the U.S. and Portuguese markets. Though formal tasting notes are scarce, it’s been praised by whisky writers like Michael Jackson and Dave Broom for its classic profile.
Here’s a likely flavor profile based on collector impressions and similar-era blends:
Nose: Elegant and mellow with honeyed malt, dried fruit, and a touch of vanilla. Hints of leather, old oak, and citrus peel add vintage charm.
Palate: Smooth and rounded, offering toffee, toasted grain, and subtle spice. Some expressions may show a whisper of peat smoke or coal dust.
Finish: Medium-long with a warming sweetness, light tobacco, and a lingering malty richness.
