Glen Elgin Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 22 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with radiant honey-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany, a warm, glassy glow.

Nose

Aromas of tropical fruit and caramelized sweetness: pineapple, banana and coconut drift with vanilla, honey and brown sugar. Rum-cask depth adds molasses, toasted oak and warm spice—cinnamon, nutmeg—plus a touch of orange zest. Rich, inviting and radiant, with a sunny, exotic perfume that hints at a long, generous finish.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this 22-year Glen Elgin offers a warm, syrupy palate with tropical notes of banana and pineapple, ripe vanilla and honey, all underpinned by oak. Rum-cask richness brings molasses, coconut and spice, amplified by 56.8% ABV, closing with a long, warming finish of ginger and brown sugar.

Finish

Long, warming finish with rum-tinged sweetness lingering behind orchard fruit and vanilla, evolving into brown sugar, caramel and spice. Banana and pineapple accents soften into toasted oak and a peppery kick, slowly fading to a lasting, comforting warmth.
