Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite closed at first nosing, just a little spirity, but it’s soon to exhale some very perfumy and slightly soapy notes. Orange skin, lavender, cardboard… Develops on ginger tonic, paraffin, almond milk, but everything is sort of toned down. We’ll try it with a few drops of water after the first sips
restaurant Palate
very sweet and almost sugarish, starting on sugared cereals, rum, vanilla liqueur… Quite some oomph but some very simple flavours. Water needed, maybe… Let’s go: the nose gets a little farmier and more phenolic, with a little peat coming through, burning candle, and something meaty, like smoked ham and sausages… It certainly improves, good news. The palate got better as well, still a little sweetish but with quite some dried fruits and also herbal teas. Liquorice as well. The finish isn’t too long, alas, and again a little sweetish. Anyway, Glenglassaugh has never been a high-profile distillery, and this one isn’t bad at all. Perhaps just not as complex as what you’d expect from a malt that’s almost 30 years old. 80 points . MUSIC – Oldies but goldies: 1968, ex Marilyn Monroe boy friend Yves Montand sings A bicyclette - mp3 live. One of the old French songs I like best - excuse my frenchness. PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK December 4, 2005 VIDEO CLIP - Just found a fantastic old movie about the reopening of Scottish distilleries in 1933, after the prohibition. It's on the Scotsman's website, right there . TASTING - TWO LINKWOODS Linkwood 1991/2005 (46%, Wilson & Morgan, sherry wood)
