Benrinnes Cadenhead's Millennium Bottling Whisky 36 Year Old · 1963 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery warmth and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-kissed nose with dried plum, fig and raisin layered over orange zest and dark chocolate. Rich toffee and vanilla drift through polished oak, while cinnamon and clove spark a refined spice. A whisper of almond, leather and coffee bean adds texture, finishing with resinous oak. Warm, luxurious aromas herald a long, elegant journey on the palate.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied on the palate, this Benrinnes reveals sherried richness—raisin, fig and orange peel entwined with cocoa and walnut. A velvety, slightly waxy texture carries toffee and vanilla oak, with baking-spice lift of cinnamon and clove. At 51.9% ABV the warmth is integrated, leaving a long finish of dried fruit, mocha and toasted oak.

Finish

An opulent, sherried finish lingers long and warm. Dried fig and plum melt into dark chocolate and toasted almond, with spicy oak and orange zest weaving through. Leather and tobacco notes emerge softly, then fade to a velvety cocoa tail that coats the palate with refined warmth.
