Tasting Notes
Colour
Sunlit gold with warm honeyed amber highlights, a luminous copper glow that hints at depth and indulgence.
Nose
Opulent sherried nose with dark fruit compote—fig, prune and plum—woven with caramel-toffee. Spices rise in cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, with hints of dark cocoa, orange zest, almond, and a resinous oak backdrop.
Palate
Glenesk (silent) 1982 presents a velvety palate of toffee and dark chocolate, tempered by rich sherry fruit—figs, raisins and orange zest. Cinnamon and clove give warmth, while soft oak and vanilla frame the sweetness. Medium-bodied and refined, the finish lingers with nutty notes, cocoa and a gentle caramel fruit glow.
Finish
Long, graceful finish with warm malt, a whisper of sweetness, and a gentle echo of oak. Spiced complexity unfolds slowly, leaving a refined, nutty warmth that lingers softly on the palate.
