Against The Grain Glen Mhor Whisky 24 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany edges and a warm copper glow, hinting at sherry-cask maturation.

Nose

Opulent dried fruits—figs, dates and raisins—lead the nose, elevated by rich sherry and cocoa. Vanilla and polished oak provide a creamy backbone, with almond and walnut adding delicate elegance. A bright whisper of orange zest and espresso emerges as it opens, settling into a warm, long, spiced finish.

Palate

Silky, creamy mouthfeel with a generous sherry-driven sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with toffee and dark chocolate, while cinnamon and nutmeg spice drift through toasted oak. A refined, lingering finish of caramel, coffee bean and faint cocoa.

Finish

Silky and warming, the finish lingers with rich sherry sweetness, coating the palate in fig and raisin with a touch of toffee. Spiced oak, cocoa, and a whisper of vanilla drift in, then slowly fades to a long, elegant, creamy warmth that persists with grace.
