Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber – bronze with green hues, almost fluorescent
air Nose
lots of dry sherry! Very meaty right at first nosing, with some hot smoked ham, balsamic vinegar, green tea, gravy. Very little sulphur and rubber (good news?) Goes on with salted liquorice and lovage, before quite some furniture polish, turpentine and eucalyptus emerge. Also some coffee, burnt caramel… Just superb, if you ask me
restaurant Palate
oh yes, classy! Nervous and vivacious despite the heavy sherry, starting on all sorts of caramelized roasted nuts, Smyrna raisins, toasted bread, with hints of high-end grappa. Lots of fudge. Maybe it lacks a little body but nothing to be ashamed of, especially because there are some very unusual notes of spearmint emerging then, together with some citronella, Coca-Cola (just faint hints, don’t worry), ginger… Very complex indeed. One to try, definitely – a beautiful example of ‘sherry’. I love it. 91 points . Glenglassaugh 28 yo 1976 (51.9%, Dormant Distillery Company, cask #2376, 279 bottles)
