Speyburn Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 15 Year Old · 1975 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry notes envelop ripe orchard fruit—plum, fig, and sultana—brushed with orange zest and treacle. Vanilla and toasted oak lift the aroma, while almond and warm spice add depth to a rich, polished Speyside bouquet.

Palate

Bold and opulent, this Speyburn from a Cadenhead’s sherry cask pours with warming sweetness. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—meet orange zest and caramel, while dark chocolate, espresso and toasted almond add depth. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—rise with the oak, giving stately structure. The finish is long and silky, with fruitcake, leather, and a nuanced oak echo.

Finish

Long, warming finish of orange zest and honeyed malt, with dried fruit, vanilla and oak. Faint spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—linger, leaving a soft, creamy sweetness that slowly fades.
