Glenglassaugh 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Specially selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker, and matured for over 40 years, this luxurious whisky promises an abundance of sweet tropical fruits and sophisticated sherry character. Bottled at 42.5%, non chill filtered and with natural colour. Collectable.

Other reviews... Glenglassaugh has altered its policy of offering single cask expressions of its 40 year old, and replaced these with a vatting of casks to provide an ongoing release program, offered at cask strength and without chill filtration. The nose is pleasingly complex, with ginger, honey, milk chocolate, icing sugar, sherry, plums, and new leather. Resinous on the palate, with pineapple and brittle toffee, then black coffee and aniseed. A spicy oakiness ultimately develops. Drying steadily in the finish, with licorice and oak tannins. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith 2014

Notes from the producers... Nose: An abundance of sweet syrupy tropical fruits; banana, pineapple and mango in perfect harmony with gentle Oloroso sherry. Palate: Sweet, rich, syrupy and complex. Oloroso sherry, toffee apples, mango and banana sit beautifully in the mouth alongside ginger and cocoa spice. Finish: Rich, spiced sherry.
