Glenury Royal (silent) Old Malt Cask Advance Sample Whisky 21 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Dense amber-gold with coppery warmth and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Opulent sherry sweetness swirls with dark dried fruit, fig, raisin and orange zest, softened by polished oak and vanilla. Rich cocoa and a hint of leather emerge, while spices bite gently, hinting at a long, stately Highlands dram.

Palate

On the palate it delivers a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel with ripe dried fruit, fig and prune, bathed in dark chocolate and espresso notes. Sherry influence coats the tongue with hints of orange zest, cacao nibs, and warming spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg. Rich oak and velvet tannins frame the sweetness, leading to a long, elegant finish of toffee, burnt sugar, and a whisper of tobacco.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish lingers with sherried sweetness—raisins, fig and walnut—soft spice, and cocoa, slowly fading to warm oak and a whisper of tobacco.
