The blend recipe for Passport was developed by Chivas Brothers’ blender Jimmy Lang during the 1960s. Stylistically, Passport is light on the nose, with grain, vanilla and fruit, leading to a palate of cut grass, rich fruit and malt.
Nose: Initial lively fruity notes of green apples and zesty orange give way to creamy vanilla and chocolate fudge with a hint of roasted chestnuts in the background.
Palate: Malty sweetness intertwines with orange marmalade, honeydew melon and charred pineapple, balanced with liquorice and sweet pecan nuts.
Finish: Sweet and fruity, with a wisp of bonfire smoke.
