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

Colour

Golden amber with coppery undertones and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Sherry-soaked fruit dominates the nose—sultanas, fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate and toasted almond. Hints of orange zest, vanilla and spice brighten the bouquet, while leather and tobacco lend quiet depth to a warm, mature sweetness.

Palate

Silky and refined, the palate opens with dried fig and raisin, orange zest and a gentle sherry sweetness. Dark chocolate, espresso and toasted almond unfold against polished oak, threaded with cinnamon and clove spice. The mouthfeel is velvet, the balance poised, finishing with cocoa, spice and a whisper of warm bitterness.

Finish

Elegant and enduring, with a velvet warmth that lingers. Dried fig, plum and a touch of orange zest drift through cocoa and toasted oak, lightly seasoned by sherry sweetness. Subtle spice—cinnamon and clove—adds a gentle snap before a soft, tobacco-tinged finish fades to a refined, quietly persistent tail.
