Taster

Nose: Perfumed (almost artificially so): pot pourri, strawberry chews. Flattens with water, also rings out a cereal character.

Palate: Dry, almost papery feel, sweetened by the berries in the middle of the palate.

Finish: Sweet and winey.

Comment: The port is trying to give this some life, but ends up dominating.

Score: 6.8

Taster

Nose: Hints of winey fruit.

Palate: Hazelnuts. Good flavour development. Nutty, marshmallow, toffee, cookie-like maltiness.

Finish: A hint of coconut. Elusive spiciness (nutmeg perhaps?).

Comment: The delicacy of the Glen Grant survives here.

Score: 8
