St. Magdalene (silent) Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany core, glowing warmly in the glass.

Nose

Intense and opulent, the nose blooms with sherry-tinged fruits: dark plum, fig and raisin, braided with orange zest, toffee and cocoa. Nutty almond, walnut and a wispy coffee note mingle with warm spice and seasoned oak, while the high ABV lends a vibrant, lingering lift to the bouquet.

Palate

Powerful and velvety, this 62.6% dram coats the palate with rich sherried fruit—dark plum, fig and raisin—balanced by cocoa and tobacco. Supple oak and baking spices—cinnamon, clove—unfold into a full, lush mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming, a lingering sweetness tempered by peppery spice and refined mineral notes.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish unfolds with a sherry-driven depth of dried cherry, cocoa and orange zest. Spices weave through the finale, tempered by polished oak and a whisper of tobacco, fading slowly into a lasting, emboldening warmth.
