Benrinnes Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 18 Year Old · 1971 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany glow.

Nose

Rich sherry influence envelops dark fruit—raisin, fig and plum—amid orange zest and vanilla. Toasted almond, cocoa and gentle spice mingle with oak, delivering a resinous, luxurious aroma that hints at age and bold cask strength.

Palate

Sherried and opulent, the palate delivers dark fig and prune fruit folded into toasted oak. Cocoa nibs, burnt sugar and walnut mingle with cinnamon, clove and white pepper, carried by a velvety, full-bodied warmth. A long finish of rich fruit, cacao and oak lingers gracefully.

Finish

Opulent and enduring, the finish coats the palate with deep sherried sweetness—figs, raisins and dark chocolate—softened by orange zest and toasted spice. It winds down slowly, a warm ember of oak and pepper lingering in a velvet-smooth, subtly drying fade.
