North Port (silent) Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 17 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm, sunlit hue.

Nose

Rich, dark-fruit aroma with a pronounced sherry influence: dried figs, raisins, candied orange, and treacle rise from the glass, layered with espresso and cocoa, toasted almond. Leather, tobacco, and polished oak lend spine, while baking spices and a barrel‑strength warmth weave a luxurious, indulgent profile.

Palate

Powerful and opulent on the palate, it unfurls with rich dried fruits—fig, raisin, prune—wrapped in dark chocolate and leather. Sherry-tinged sweetness coats the mid-palate, while spice, coffee, and toasted oak unfold. A bold, peppery warmth lingers, balanced by tobacco and lacquered timber.

Finish

Long, poised finish with polished oak and dried fruit carried by a warm, peppery spice. Notes of cocoa and leather emerge slowly, echoing into a subtle, savory glow that lingers with a refined, resinous depth.
