Glen Spey A.D. Rattray - Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 21 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, sunlit core; a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Ripe dried fruit—raisin, fig, and prune—rise with orange zest, honey, and vanilla, set against rich sherried oak. Cocoa, almond, and a touch of cinnamon and clove weave through, delivering a warm, elegant aroma with refined, aged sweetness.

Palate

Silky and substantial on the palate, this 21-year-old sherry-kissed Glen Spey from A.D. Rattray reveals sunny orchard fruit giving way to dark raisins and fig, with orange zest, almond, and a hint of cacao. Rich spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—drinks the high-proof warmth, while velvety oak sustains a long, nutty, deeply satisfying finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish of sherried sweetness and toasted oak; fig and raisin cling to the palate, supported by cocoa, ginger and nutmeg, fading to a silky barley sweetness with a final whisper of leather.
