Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Starfruit. Caramel sauce. Candied lemon peel. Palate Smooth. Dark chocolate souffle. Finish Chocolate Olivers. Slightly woody. Comment Glenglassaugh can be malty, and this one is. It stands up very well for it's age. In this bottling, with an apricot colour that suggests sherry, very much a dessert whisky.

Dave Broom Nose Apples: flesh, skin, core and pips, in fact. Water gives straw, grass with herbs and nuts. Palate Medium bodied. Pear, toffee apple and herbs. Goes down the middle of the tongue rather than filling the mouth. Smoky oak late on. Finish Firm, dry, little short. Comment A spiky mix of apple and grass. Intriguing.
