Glen Marnoch Distiller's Reserve Whisky 29 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent Speyside aromas open with dark dried fruit—figs and raisins—brightened by orange zest and luscious toffee. Rich walnut, leather, and creamy vanilla layer over toasted oak, while warm spice—cinnamon and clove—adds elegance. A delicate sherry sweetness threads through, hinting at chocolate and a long, refined finish.

Palate

Silky and refined, with a subtle sherried sweetness. Dried fruit, orange zest and almond drift over a toasted oak backbone, classic Speyside elegance. Mid-palate reveals raisins, cocoa and gentle spice, softly warming the tongue. The finish lingers with walnut, honeyed fruit and a graceful oak lift.

Finish

Silky and persistent, the finish drapes warm sherry‑soaked fruit over toasted oak. Raisin and fig notes deepen into hints of dark chocolate and almond, with a delicate spice that lingers—cinnamon and clove weaving through the malt. Vanilla sweetness returns as velvety tannins fade, leaving a refined, orchard‑kissed glow that echoes long after the sip.
