Taster

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.

Score: 7.8

Taster

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.

Score: 7.8
