Glenlivet Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 24 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep claret-tinged amber, with ruby-garnet depth and a warm copper glow.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-kissed nose with dark plum, fig and raisin, lifted by cherry compote and orange zest. Rich cocoa and warm spices—cinnamon and clove—sit on polished oak, delivering a velvety, inviting depth that hints at the 24-year maturation.

Palate

Velvet on the palate, delivering dark cherry, plum and fig bathed in burnt sugar and cocoa. Sherry-cask depth introduces red-wine spice—cinnamon and clove—alongside polished oak and a whisper of leather. Full-bodied, warming, and richly syrupy, it coats the tongue before a long, claret-tinged finish of dried fruit and espresso.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with persistent sherry sweetness—fig, raisin and cherry mingle with dark cocoa and espresso. Subtle oak tannins lend a velvet grip as warm spice lingers, a final echo of claret that slowly fades.
