Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany edges and a coppery, sun-warmed glow.
Nose
Rich oloroso sherry cloaks this fifty-year-old Glen Grant in dark raisin, fig and prune, with caramelized orange zest and toffee. Nutty almond and walnut deepen the oak, while whispers of leather, cocoa and spice add quiet elegance. The aroma is refined and velvety, a balanced tapestry that speaks to decades of patient maturation without heaviness.
Palate
Silky mouthfeel with the gentle heft of oloroso influence. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, date—settle with toffee, cocoa, and toasted almond. Orange zest and subtle spice brighten mid-palate, while creamy oak coats the finish. At 40%, the balance is refined and long, leaving a warm sherry glow and a lingering caramelized sweetness.
Finish
Long and elegant, the finish carries the gentle warmth of oloroso; dried fruits, orange zest and walnut mingle with polished oak, with hints of dark chocolate and spice lingering.
