Glen Keith Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old · 1993 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with copper-bronze radiance, a glowing honey-gold core and a subtle mahogany edge.

Nose

Sherry-soaked aromas rise in a luxurious wave: dried plum, fig and raisin, brightened by orange zest and cherry. Toasted almond, vanilla and dark chocolate mingle with polished oak, while whispers of leather, cinnamon and clove add spice. The 54.3% ABV lends poised, resinous warmth that hints at the depth to come in the glass.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied with a warm sherried sweetness. Dark fruit compote—plum, fig, raisin—drifts over cocoa, toasted almond, and a hint of orange zest. Rich oak and spice weave through, delivering cinnamon and ginger with a velvety, integrated finish. The 54.3% ABV adds a glossy warmth that lingers long in the mouth.

Finish

Long, luxurious, velvety sherry-driven linger, with dried fig and plum, red cherry and raisin, joined by toasted almond, cocoa and spice. Oak-warmth wraps the palate, slowly fading into a refined, resinous afterglow.
