Glenglassaugh Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones; a warm, honey-gold glow that hints at decades in sherry casks.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose with dark raisin, prune and fig at the core, shaded by treacle and cocoa. Orange zest, cinnamon and clove weave through velvety vanilla and toasted oak, while a refined whisper of leather and tobacco adds old-cask gravitas.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied with dark fruit, plum and raisin, layered over chocolate and espresso. Sherry-cask sweetness yields toasted almond and orange zest, with cinnamon and clove sparks. A delicate maritime lift, then a long, warm finish of vanilla, refined tannins, and oak polish.

Finish

Long, sherried finish with dried fig, orange zest and dark chocolate, threaded with toasted almond. A gentle spice lingers, wrapped in warm oak and velvet sweetness that persists on the palate.
