77- Nose
- Dates. Brown sugar. Caramel.
- Palate
- Rich. Smooth. Moist fruitcake, slightly burnt on the outside.
- Finish
- Slight woody bitterness.
- Comment
- Glen Grant was one of the first malts to be bottled as a single malt, in the days when light-tasting spirits were often filled into heavy sherry casks. I have always felt that this overwhelms the spirit. This example is better balanced than most.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Heady with an exotic lift. Chocolate, walnut whip, roasted nut. Oaky, but has some style. Water shows nutty, sherried notes.
- Palate
- A good weight of spirit. Rich and malty with a hint of soot. Pretty thick in the mouth and quite firm in structure. A complex range of flavours.
- Finish
- Dry and maybe just a little short.
- Comment
- Here's a rarity: an old Glen Grant in which the spirit hasn't been drowned by the cask.
