Glenglassaugh Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 13 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-bronze highlights and a touch of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Opulent and richly sherried on the nose, this Glenglassaugh releases dark fruit depths—raisins, prunes and fig with a lacquer of candied orange peel. Hints of toasted almond, vanilla and cocoa drift over Christmas-pudding spice, cinnamon and nutmeg. A touch of maritime salt and warming oak underpins the perfume, lending a potent, seductive edge from the high-ABV spirit.

Palate

Opulent, full-bodied and warming, this 59.8% Glenglassaugh coats the palate with an oily, decadent texture. Dried fig, date and raisin mingle with dark chocolate and treacle, while orange zest, vanilla and cinnamon thread through the spice. Rich sherry influence and polished oak drive a long, velvety finish with hints of coastal salt.

Finish

Long, warming finish of dark fruit, cocoa and toasted almond, with cinnamon and clove spice. Rich oak threads through, leaving a refined peppery warmth that slowly fades into a lasting, elegant sweetness.
