Aberlour Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a rich mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven bouquet, with dark dried fruits—fig, plum, and cherry—laced with orange zest and toffee. Rich cocoa, almond, and vanilla weave through polished oak, releasing a warm, spicy finish that promises cask-kept depth.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, the palate unfolds with sherry-kissed fruit—fig, date, raisin—with orange zest and dark chocolate notes. Rich toffee sweetness evolves into spice—cinnamon, clove, black pepper—while velvety oak and almond integrate. A long, warming finish lingers, carrying the elevated strength with elegance.

Finish

Long and luxurious, this finish lingers with dark fruit sweetness—figs, plum, and orange peel—woven with cocoa, toffee, and warm spice. A mouth-coating, sherried echo slowly fades to nutty oak and a refined, lingering warmth.
