Glenglassaugh Rare Cask Release #2101 Whisky 28 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery mahogany depths and a warm, honey-gold rim.

Nose

Rich and contemplative, the nose unfurls with dark fruits—prune, raisin, fig—interlaced with toasted almond and molten toffee. Sherry sweetness swirls with cocoa, orange zest and warm spice (clove, nutmeg), while subtle oak lends structure. A delicate maritime breeze threads through, hinting at Glenglassaugh’s coastal character. Elegant, layered, and inviting, it promises a long, velvety, savoury finish.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with a lush sherry backbone and dark fruit sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with milk chocolate, espresso and almond notes. Spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg warm the core, balanced by polished oak. The finish is long and generous, with cocoa, date and a gentle, lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, warming finish dominated by sherry richness: ripe dried fruits, dark chocolate, and toasted spice fade slowly into a velvet oak, leaving a honeyed citrus brightness.
