Glenrothes Cadenhead's Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 24 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and a mahogany edge, a warm, sunlit bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-kissed nose with raisin, fig and prune balanced by orange zest, honeyed vanilla and toffee. Cinnamon and nutmeg weave warmth, while toasted almond and a touch of cacao add depth. Subtle oak and leather ground the aroma, revealing a velvety Christmas‑cake richness that lingers long and refined.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this Glenrothes in sherry cask sings with dark fruits—raisin, fig, date—interwoven with orange zest and buttery toffee. Spice blooms—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—over rich oak and a whisper of leather. The 56.9% ABV provides a warming, long finish of cacao, dried fruit, and a touch of spice that lingers gracefully.

Finish

Long, velvet finish with sherry-rich sweetness and warming spice. Dried figs and raisins mingle with dark chocolate and toasted oak, leaving a citrusy orange zest glow and a gentle peppery warmth.
