Glenglassaugh Cooper's Choice - Single Port Cask #9665 Whisky 8 Year Old · 2014 Vintage

Colour

Rich, warm amber with coppery depths and a ruby-tinted edge; a glossy, chestnut-gold glow that hints at port-cask maturation.

Nose

Opulent port-influenced aroma: ripe red fruits—raspberry, cherry and plum—layered with fig and raisin, touched by vanilla and toffee. Subtle cocoa and almond notes mingle with soft oak, while spices—nutmeg and clove—add lift, hinting at a rich, wine-dark sweetness to come.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with a rich vanilla and toffee sweetness from American oak, braided with port-driven dark fruits—ripe cherry, fig, and raisin. Cocoa and praline notes emerge alongside soft spice, while a velvety texture carries a warm, lingering red-fruit finish.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish carries port-inspired richness that lingers gracefully. Red berry, raisin and dark chocolate mingle with vanilla and toasty oak, while a measured spice bloom adds complexity. The high ABV preserves a bright, confident tail that slowly tapers to a refined, lightly drying fade.
