Glen Spey Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery shimmer, a sunlit hue that glows with honeyed warmth and a touch of mahogany along the edges.

Nose

Delicate yet inviting, the nose opens with orchard fruit and lemon zest, unfolding silky pear and green apple, honeyed vanilla, and almond pastry. Subtle sherry sweetness brings dried fig, raisin, and cocoa dust, with a touch of warm spice—cinnamon and clove—carried on a whisper of oak. Fresh, elegant, and quietly regal.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with a creamy texture that coats the tongue. Fresh orchard fruit (pear and apple) softly mingle with vanilla and honey, while delicate oak adds structure. A whisper of almond, dried fruit, and gentle sherry sweetness emerge, finishing with warming spice and a refined, lingering fruit-nut note.

Finish

Long and refined, the finish glows with a warm sherry‑inflected sweetness that lingers. Dried apricot and fig give way to cocoa, orange zest and toasted oak, carried by soft spice. A velvety malted echo remains, gradually receding into polished wood and subtle nuttiness.
