Glenglassaugh Rare Cask Release #1118/8 Whisky 36 Year Old · 1978 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with ruby-copper highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Port-fueled aromas unfold with opulent red fruits—ripe cherry, raspberry—interwoven with dried plum and raisin. Caramel, almond and dark chocolate mingle with polished oak, a touch of orange zest, and subtle spice, delivering a luxurious, dessert-like yet refined bouquet.

Palate

Silky, medium-full on the palate with a lightly oily mouthfeel. Rich raisin and fig mingle with orange zest, toffee and dark chocolate. Port-tinged sweetness from the hogshead sits beside vanilla and toasted almond, edged by subtle spice and gentle oak. Long, refined finish with citrus brightness and a lingering note of cocoa and wood.

Finish

Long, velvety finish with port-driven sweetness and a tapestry of dried red fruits—raisin, plum and cherry—softened by cocoa, toffee and a whisper of spice. Cinnamon and clove lightly knit through refined oak, leaving a warm, maritime glow that slowly fades to a subtle nuttiness and a polished, luxurious length.
