Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a warm copper sheen and mahogany edges, a luxurious, honeyed color that hints at the sherry cask’s depth.

Nose

Dundee fruit cake mingles with sherry-soaked orange segments, dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut, freshly polished new leather, ripe fig and espresso-soaked sponge with a tiramisu-like whisper, all edged by old-fashioned toffee.

Palate

A big and bold woody-sherried delivery with dates in syrup, toasted nuts, honey on brown bread, thick cut blood orange marmalade, plum pudding.

Finish

Dry and nutty, with toasted hazelnuts and orange zest paving a path through espresso and sherry-soaked dried fruit. Glace cherries, bread pudding and chocolate-covered raisins mingle with ripe figs in honey. A long, chewy finish that lingers warmly on the palate.
