Allt-a-Bhainne Cadenhead's Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma with dark fruit compote—plum, raisin and fig—framed by orange zest and toasted almond. Rich vanilla and toffee mingle with polished oak, a touch of cocoa and spice (cinnamon, clove). A hint of leather deepens as the perfume settles and warms in the glass.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, Allt-a-Bhainne delivers sherried richness with raisin, fig and plum fruit mingling with dark chocolate, orange peel and toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon, clove—crest the mid-palate, while the 54.4% ABV gives a warming, peppery bite that fades into a long, cocoa-dried finish.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish unfolds with sherry-spiced richness and dark fruits—raisin and fig—kissed by orange zest. Cocoa, espresso and polished oak persist, tapering to a velvety, peppery warmth that lingers with a refined, lasting glow.
