Balblair Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 22 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery highlights and a touch of mahogany at the rim, a warm sherried glow signaling depth and sweetness.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led aroma with dark fig and raisin, orange zest and treacle. Rich vanilla, cocoa nibs and toasted almond mingle with cedar and oak, while a ribbon of cinnamon and clove adds subtle spice. Warm, velvety and inviting.

Palate

Full-bodied and velvety, it delivers concentrated sherry richness—figs, raisins, orange zest, and a hint of treacle. Dark chocolate and cocoa mingle with cinnamon and clove, beneath toasted oak. Spices lift the mid-palate, leading to a long, warming finish of espresso, leather, and a final echo of oak.

Finish

Long, sherry-influenced finish, slowly unfolding with dark dried fruits—fig and cherry—kissed by cocoa, toasted almond, and baking spice. The velvety oak reasserts itself, leaving a citrus zest glow and a warm, comforting fade that lingers well into the aftertaste.
