Tasting Notes
Colour
A luminous burnished amber with coppery highlights and a honeyed, sunset glow.
Nose
Silky, perfumed nose of orchard fruit and polished oak opens to sun-warmed apricot and delicate honeyed citrus. Sherry sweetness drapes dried figs and toasted almond, while cinnamon and nutmeg add a spicy lift. A whisper of sea salt and coastal breeze threads through, leaving a refined, lingering sweetness and quiet pepper.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, this Glenglassaugh delivers a sherried heartbeat of dark fig and raisin, enriched with toffee, vanilla, and espresso notes. Toasted oak and spice—cinnamon and clove—add warmth and structure, while a refined sweetness lingers into a long, elegant finish of dried fruit and cocoa.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with sherry-driven sweetness and coastal poise. Dried fig and cocoa emerge, softened by orange zest and almond, weaving into toasty oak. A delicate spice threads through, allowing warmth to linger, fading to a refined, enduring glow.
