Glen Spey Single Malt Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old · 1985 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with coppery hues and a warm mahogany sheen.

Nose

Delicate and fragrant, citrus zest and orchard fruits mingle with honeyed vanilla. A subtle sherry lift brings dried apricot, fig, almond, and soft oak spice.

Palate

Silky, mid-weight on the palate with sherried richness and orchard fruit. Ripe pear and apple layer with dark plum, raisin, and orange zest, all draped in honeyed sweetness and almond notes. Spices—cinnamon and clove—bring faint heat, while toasted oak lends structure. The finish unfolds slowly, leaving a warm, nutty afterglow of fruit and subtle cocoa.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with warm sherry sweetness and cocoa-touched oak. Dried fig, orange zest and gentle spice unfold slowly, carried by polished tannins. The tail lingers with refined dessert-like fruit and a nutty, dry fade, leaving a silken, memorable whisper of Speyside maturity.
