Glenury Royal (silent) 2005 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 36 Year Old · 1968 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper tones and a mahogany edge, a warm, sunlit glow in the glass.

Nose

Opulent sherry-soaked aroma of aged fig and raisin, folded with orange zest and dark chocolate. Layered notes of toffee, vanilla, and toasted oak rise to mingle with leather, tobacco, and spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg. A whisper of smoke and mocha completes the bouquet, hinting at refined, old-library richness.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, the palate moves with velvety treacle toffee, fig and raisin, touch of dark chocolate and espresso. Sherry influence adds lacquered oak, cinnamon and nutmeg, with a thread of orange zest. Rich fruit and spice rise to a long, warming finish, subtle leather and cacao lingering.

Finish

Exquisitely long, the finish unfurls with dried fruits and orange zest, shaded by dark chocolate and polished oak. Sherry sweetness lingers, mingling with spice—cinnamon, clove—alongside tobacco and leather. A warm, velvety fade continues, leaving cocoa-tint and mature oak to linger gracefully.
