Bladnoch Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glints and a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose of dried fruit—raisin, fig and date—woven with orange zest and almond. Toasted spice, vanilla-caramel sweetness, and oak give sophistication, while a whisper of dark chocolate lingers. Rich yet refined, the aroma promises a lush, pampered palate.

Palate

Opens with rich sherried fruit and honeyed malt, unfolding into dried fig and plum, a kiss of orange zest and maple, layered with cocoa and espresso. Full-bodied yet balanced by elegant oak, cinnamon and nutmeg spice, a warm peppery bite mid-palate, then a long, seamless finish of raisin, leather and dark chocolate.

Finish

A long, decadent finish that lingers with sherried richness: dark plum and fig fruit, amber toffee and roasted almond, carried on a warm whisper of spice. Subtle oak adds gentle tannin, letting cocoa, tobacco and an orange zest glow caress the palate before fading to a refined, velvety finish.
