St. Magdalene (silent) Centenary Reserve Whisky 15 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a warm ruby rim.

Nose

Sherry-cask perfume floods the nose: dark prunes, dried figs and orange zest mingle with cocoa, toffee and toasted spice. Leather, walnut and velvet oak underpin a refined sweetness, delivering a warm, contemplative richness.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with dark cherry, fig and raisin, a creamy sweetness and cocoa nibs. Sherry influence adds burnt sugar, dried fruit, and spice—nutmeg and clove—alongside polished leather and toasted oak. Long, warm finish with lingering fruit, spice and oak.

Finish

Long, refined finish of sherried sweetness and velvet oak. Dried fig and raisin mingle with cocoa and almond, slowly fading to a warm spice kiss of cinnamon and clove. The final impression is smooth and persistent, with a dignified, lingering glow.
