Glen Albyn (silent) First Cask Single Cask #1588 Whisky 26 Year Old · 1974 Vintage

Colour

Deep, radiant amber with copper-gold highlights and a tawny mahogany edge.

Nose

Deep sherried perfume of raisin and fig unfolds into orange zest and dark chocolate. Nutty almond and toasted oak mingle with cinnamon and clove, while a whisper of leather and cedar lends luxurious depth, finishing with polished vanilla.

Palate

Silky, richly sherried on the palate, this Glen Albyn unfurls dark fruits—prune, fig and cherry—layered with plum and jam. Cocoa and toffee ride over polished oak, with a kiss of burnt sugar. Spices—cinnamon, clove and nutmeg—lift the mid-palate, leading to a long, warming finish of dried fruits and cocoa.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish that unfurls in sherried warmth: dark chocolate, fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, while cinnamon and clove weave through velvety oak. Toasted almond provides a gentle nutty lift, and the tail lingers with a leather-soft, ember-bright finish that slowly fades to a refined, mellow sweetness.
