Glendronach Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Dark mahogany amber with ruby-tinged glow and burnished copper highlights.

Nose

Dark, sherry-kissed aromas rise from the glass: dried figs, raisins and prune mingle with black cherry, cocoa, and espresso. Spices of cinnamon and clove weave with toffee, orange zest, and tobacco leather, while polished oak and a whisper of hazelnut lend elegance and depth to the bouquet.

Palate

Opulent and syrupy, the palate opens with dark fruits—raisin, fig and plum—woven with chocolate, coffee and toffee. Rich sherry sweetness drapes a velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel, with orange zest and baking spices lending lift. Gentle tannins frame oak, delivering a long, warming finish of dried fruit, spice and espresso.

Finish

Opulent and enduring, the finish unfurls in waves of dried fruit, fig and raisin, braided with dark chocolate and toasted spice. Sherried sweetness lingers, cushioned by velvety oak and a touch of leather, tapering to a refined, warming dryness that invites the next indulgent sip.
