Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

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.

Score: 7.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

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.

Score: 8
