Tasting Notes

Colour

pale amber

air Nose

I'm sure I've written similar before, but this is really a single profile, a fusion of waxes, dried exotic fruits, tiny threads of medicine and peat smoke, and also a stunning honeyed note that all together sings 'Old Glen Grant!' in full throated harmony. Arguably simple in some respects, but just utterly gorgeous and dripping with sophistication and class. A feeling of effortlessness

restaurant Palate

43% seems to work so perfectly for these bottles. This has perfect attack, very lean, mineral, rather surprisingly lemony and bright, assertive waxiness, herbal teas sweetened with honey, crystallised citrus peels and dried mango. Gorgeous and almost verging on gulpable. Add to all that a little liquorice root, some beeswax, a leathery note and a splash of old yellow Chartreuse

timer Finish

long, leafy, mineral, waxy and full of many types of preserved fruit. Also still beautifully honeyed
