Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
quite a different style. Much grassier, greener, more floral and full of pollens, plain cereals, lightly buttered toast, vase water, hessian and clay. We’re creeping towards this lighter but still rather old school Glen Grant profile which to me feels like the late 60s distillates captured at a younger age. This one remains beautifully fresh, green and vibrant with many subtle complexities emerging including olive oil, beeswax, carbon paper, bouillon and chopped parsley. With water: wonderfully mossy now with lots of twigs, bracken and petrichor. Ink, carbon paper, dried herbs, honeycomb and shoe polish
restaurant Palate
rather fierce on arrival with lots of struck flints, petrol, lime oil, hessian, white pepper, ink and crushed aspirin. Also things like cut grass, cactus and raw vegetables. Very good but a more austere expression. With water: easier and more towards old school boiled lime and lemon sweets. Cornflakes dusted with icing sugar, rapeseed oil and sweetened darjeeling tea
timer Finish
long, getting slightly earthy, still vegetal and herbal, also more peppery and punchy again
