Glendronach Cadenhead's Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with rich mahogany depths and a coppery, lacquered glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-glossed nose with dark fruit depth: plum, fig, raisin, and date, braided with burnt sugar and cocoa. Bright notes of orange zest and dried apricot lift the palate, while leather, polished oak, and gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—emerge. A glossy, velvety aroma that hints at cask-strength richness and a long, luxurious finish.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this 23-year Glendronach pours a plume of dark fruit—raisin, fig, prune—with rich toffee and cocoa. Velvet, sherry-wrapped sweetness coats the palate, opening to orange zest, cinnamon and walnut. Long, warming and refined, the finish lingers with polished spice.

Finish

Luxuriously long and warming, this finish lingers with dark fruit, fig and raisin, glazed with toffee and cocoa. Sherry sweetness envelopes the palate while spice notes—cinnamon, clove—and oak weave through, leaving a velvet, nutty warmth and a bright hint of orange zest that fades slowly.
