80
- Nose
- Winey. Treacle toffee.
- Palate
- Despite hefty oak and sherry, the distillery character survives. The characteristic hazelnut dryness extends into a maltiness reminiscent of hard cookies. Like drinking a Bath Oliver biscuit.
- Finish
- Some cedary oak.
- Comment
- I usually find delicate old Glen Grants to be overwhelmed by oak. This example makes for a mature dram with considerable complexity.
77
- Nose
- Oily, dried fruits, hint of rancio and Marmite. Burnt orange, allspice, nutmeg and clove.
- Palate
- Soft start builds nicely good weight. Rich and sherried, tannic but a chocolate/coffee richness and depth to it.
- Finish
- Woody and a bit short.
- Comment
- Interesting and while not overly woody (given its age) one for sherried malt lovers only.
