Glenglassaugh Rare Cask Release #1803 Whisky 35 Year Old · 1978 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with copper-bronze highlights and a tawny, mahogany edge.

Nose

Rich sherry perfume threads through dried fig, plum and cranberry with orange zest. Almond pastry, toffee, and dark chocolate deepen the bouquet, while cedar and leather lend quiet maturation. A sea-salt brightness lingers at the edge, lifted by vanilla and spice, revealing a luxurious, age-softened aroma that hints at decades in oak.

Palate

Silky and richly sherried on the palate, this Glenglassaugh delivers fig and raisin with bright orange zest, woven with cocoa, toffee and spice. A full, elegant body supported by seasoned oak evolves to a long, nutty finish with hints of leather and treacle.

Finish

An exceptionally long, luxurious finish that drapes the palate in rich dried fruit, fig and raisin, intertwined with dark chocolate, orange zest and toasted oak. Spiced, subtly smoky, it lingers with velvet warmth and a final coffee-kissed echo.
