Coleburn (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 24 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery flashes and a bronzed edge; a warm, honeyed core hints at rich sherry influence.

Nose

Rich sherry aroma: dried figs, raisins and dates, layered with dark chocolate, treacle and orange zest. Cinnamon and clove mingle with polished oak, leather and walnut. A velvety sweetness hints at coffee and toasted almond, inviting a poised, long-lingering complexity.

Palate

Silky and refined on the palate, this 24-year-old Coleburn unfurls a sherried sweetness with quiet authority. Dried fruits—raisins, figs—and orange zest mingle with toasted almond, cocoa, and a touch of spice. The texture is velvety, the oak well integrated, leading to a warm, nutty finish that lingers with subtle waxy notes and a soft, lingering fruit closure.

Finish

An enduring, luxurious finish that lingers with velvety dark fruit, fig and raisin, entwined with cocoa-dusted oak and a whisper of spice. The sweetness broadens into a warm sherry glow, slowly tapering to toasted nut and a bright citrus zest that leaves a refined, lingering echo on the palate.
