Glenugie (silent) Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 17 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a warm mahogany core and copper-gold highlights that shimmer through the glass.

Nose

Sherry‑driven and seductively rich, the nose unfolds with dried fruits—prune, fig, and raisin—woven with dark chocolate and cocoa nibs. Velvet vanilla and caramel sweeten oak and toasted almond, while warm spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove—and a hint of orange zest lift the aroma. A subtle smoky edge and cedar undertone linger, inviting the first sip.

Palate

Silky, medium-full on the palate, Glenugie unfolds a rich sherried sweetness with dark fig and date, brightened by orange zest and a kiss of cacao. Nutty almond and toffee mingle with gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—woven through polished oak. At 43% ABV the warmth is refined, leaving a long, elegant finish.

Finish

Silky, long finish with polished oak and rich sherry influence. Dark plum, raisin and cocoa fuse with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—leaving a velvet sweetness and a lingering whisper of toasted nuts.
