Lochside (silent) Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 31 Year Old · 1962 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with coppery glow and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Opulent sherried nose of fig and raisin, with baked plum and bright orange zest. Caramelized toffee, dark chocolate, and toasted almond unfold over polished oak, while warm spices—cinnamon and clove—add complexity. A brisk, high-toned lift from the 56% ABV promises a rich, lingering aromatic core.

Palate

Silky, bold, and deeply sherried on the palate. Dried plum and fig merge with orange zest, dark chocolate, and espresso, while clove and black pepper provide a vibrant spice frame. A thick, oily texture coats the tongue, delivering a warming, persistent finish of hazelnut, leather, cocoa, and toasted oak.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish coats the palate with dark fruit, fig and raisin, wrapped in cocoa and espresso. Sherry sweetness lingers, complemented by warm oak, leather and spice, fading to cinnamon and clove with a velvety, enduring warmth.
