Glen Grant
Appearance: Deep mahogany, very viscous, very long legs.
Nose: The old burnt wax/old furniture polish found in all these early 1950s G&M casks. Dried fruit (figs, sultanas, dates and pruins), some cloves. A drop of water brings out a fresher note of sherry, with a cleaner hit of varnish.
Palate: Burnt wax, sherry dryness and some sourness. The oak is very noticable (60 years in cask, you’d expect nothing less) and imparts a very dry bitter note. Some mild spices and a gentle sweetness. The drop of water added makes it a tad more bitter and tannic.
