Tasting Notes
Colour
gold (slightly paler than cask #3493)
air Nose
well, this one is more directly marked by the oak and starts more on vanilla, coffee, lactones and cinnamon as well as hints of cloves and nutmeg. Gets spicier and spicier with time but the fruitiness never makes it through those spices from the wood. So, it’s extremely, and unexpectedly different from its ex-neighbour but certainly not less good. Maybe a tad less interesting
restaurant Palate
we’re closer to its sister cask now. The extra 4% make it punchier, that is. Also a bit spicier and woodier again in fact (more nutmeg)
timer Finish
longer but woodier, still not really drying that is. Excellent again but maybe a bit less interesting. 88 points. Glen Grant 37 yo 1970/2007 (49.7%, Duncan Taylor Rare Old, cask #861) Distilled in Februray and filled into sherry wood it seems. Let’s do our maths, cask #861 in February, cask #3490 in May, that should mean that Glen Grant filled 2,600 casks within 3 months in 1970. I know, not that we care too much…
