Glenglassaugh Rare Cask Release #761 Whisky 41 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a warm copper glow and hints of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent, amber-forward nose with tropical fruit at the core—ripe pineapple, fig, and sultana—woven with caramel from the rum cask. Rich vanilla, brown sugar, and toffee mingle with warm spice and toasted oak, while orange zest adds a bright lift to the lingering, luxurious aroma.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate unfolds with rum-kissed sweetness—raisin, fig and molasses layered with toffee and dark chocolate. Orange zest brightness punctuates the mid-palate, while vanilla and gentle spice mingle with toasted oak. A long, warm finish carries continued sweetness, toasted almond, and a subtle maritime lift.

Finish

Long, warm finish with a bold rum-influenced sweetness. Caramel, banana and dried fruit linger, lifted by orange zest and vanilla, wrapped in velvety oak and spice as the final glow softly fades.
