Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich copper-amber with mahogany undertones, a warm, sunlit glow that hints at sherry-influenced depth.
Nose
Opulent sherry-dominated nose opens with dark dried fruits—raisins, dates, fig—woven with orange peel, cocoa, and liquorice. Subtle burnt sugar, polished oak and warm spice (cinnamon, clove) mingle with a faint nuttiness, inviting a luscious, velvety Glen Grant profile.
Palate
Sherry-influenced and richly textured, this Glen Grant coats the palate with dark fruit and spice. Raisin, fig and orange zest mingle with cocoa, treacle and toasted almond, while cinnamon and black pepper lift the profile. Full-bodied and velvety, the high ABV lends a warm, persistent bite that fades into a long, nutty finish with oak and lingering sweetness.
Finish
A long, sumptuous finish lingers with sherry sweetness, a velvety curtain of warmth. Dried fruit, orange zest, dark chocolate and cinnamon trail into toasted oak, fading to a refined, lingering echo.
