1960s Nelson’s De Luxe 8 Over Years Scotch

1960s Nelson’s De Luxe 8  Over Years Scotch  Whisky is a rare and somewhat enigmatic blend bottled by Beechwood Blenders of Glasgow at 43% ABV, specifically for W. & S. Grimaldi & C. in Milan. While it hasn’t yet gathered formal reviews or ratings on platforms like Whiskybase, we can still piece together a likely profile based on its era and style.

Here’s a speculative tasting sketch based on similar vintage blends:

Nose: Expect a classic old-school Scotch aroma—light smoke, dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of leather or old oak. There might be subtle citrus zest and toffee notes as well.

Palate: Smooth and mellow, with malty sweetness, caramel, and hints of nutmeg or clove. Possibly a faint peaty undertone or coal smoke if it leans toward a Highland or Islay influence.

Finish: Medium length with a warming spice, toasted grain, and a lingering vanilla-oak character.
