Glen Spey Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 13 Year Old · 1981 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent sherried nose with dried figs, dates and raisins, lifted by orange zest. Toasted almond and vanilla mingle with cocoa and malt, while cinnamon and clove thread through. A warming, high‑proof aroma of polished oak and a hint of leather.

Palate

Opulent and warming, this Glen Spey from a sherry cask unfolds dark fruit complexity—raisin, fig and plum—framed by orange zest, toffee and a touch of cacao. A voluptuous, high-octane mouthfeel coats the palate with cinnamon and clove, rich oak, and a nutty, lingering finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish marked by dark fruit and spice. Sherry-cask accents impart fig and raisin, cacao nib and toasted oak, with a bright kiss of orange zest. The 62.3% ABV lingers as a refined, peppery warmth that slowly fades into silky barley sweetness and a final whisper of spice.
