Aberlour Cadenhead's Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glow and mahogany-red highlights.

Nose

Rich sherried perfume of dark cherries and dried figs, layered with orange zest, cocoa, and toffee. Spiced by clove and nutmeg, with velvety vanilla and elegant oak lingering in the background.

Palate

Opulent and sherried on the palate, it unfurls dark plum and raisin, fig, and candied orange peel with roasted almond and cocoa. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—linger through rich oak, delivering a velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel and a long, warming finish.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish drapes the palate in rich sherry sweetness—raisin, fig and orange zest—over velvety oak. Gentle spices—cinnamon and clove—fade into a trailing note of dark chocolate and toasted almond, lingering with a refined warmth that slowly softens to a graceful, enduring glow.
