Coleburn (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 25 Year Old · 1981 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-bronze edges and a warm honey-gold glow.

Nose

Deep, inviting nose of sherry-soaked fruit—raisin, fig and apricot—layered with vanilla, toffee and dark chocolate. Toasted almond and a whisper of leather mingle with clove and nutmeg, while a hint of orange zest and polished oak lend poised, aged sweetness.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied on the palate, this 25-year-old delivers a lush sherry sweetness balanced by refined oak. Raisins, fig and date mingle with orange zest and a whisper of toffee, while cocoa nibs and spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—add warmth. The texture is velvety, the structure deft, with a lingering finish of raisin-laden fruit, toasted nuts and oak spice that gently lingers.

Finish

Long, elegant finish where sherry sweetness coats dried fruit and orange zest, guided by gentle spice and seasoned oak. Dried-fruit echoes linger into a cocoa-tinted fade, with a whisper of leather and faint tobacco, leaving a refined, lingering warmth.
