Mannochmore Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

A rich, deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Dark sherry coats the nose, releasing fig, raisin and date, with orange zest and toffee. Cocoa and espresso mingle with toasted almond, while velvety oak lends spice—cinnamon and clove—finishing with a warm, resinous sweetness.

Palate

Powerful, sherried palate with dark raisin, fig and treacle sweetness, layered with milk chocolate, espresso and toasted almond. Dense fruit and spice mingle—cinnamon, clove and black pepper—alongside stately oak. Long, warming finish with resinous, leathered notes and a bold, peppery bite from the 60.9% ABV.

Finish

Long, warm and refined, the finish lingers with sherried fruit, dried fig and raisin, a bright kiss of orange zest, and dark chocolate. Spiced oak and vanilla weave through the palate, fading to a velvety, nutty dryness that coats the senses and leaves a luxurious, lasting warmth.
