Benrinnes Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 19 Year Old · 1971 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and tawny bronze edges, a warm, sunlit hue hinting at sherry-influenced maturation and autumnal richness.

Nose

Opulent and mature, this Benrinnes unfurls with dark treacle and polished oak, revealing dried fruits—prune, fig, and raisin—with a kiss of orange zest. Sherry-glossed sweetness broadens to cocoa, toasted almond, and a warm spice veil of cinnamon and clove, finished by a whisper of leather.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with dried fruits and toffee, framed by polished oak and spice. Raisin, fig and candied orange mingle with vanilla and a whisper of cocoa; the 55.3% warmth sits securely, lending depth and balance. Long, warming finish with caramelized sweetness, oak polish, and a lingering spice.

Finish

An elongated, velvet finish that lingers with a sherry-kissed sweetness: dried fig and raisin unfold into cocoa, orange zest, and a whisper of almond. Subtle spice and toasted oak frame the warmth, leaving a polished, lingering orchard-fruit glow that fades slowly.
