Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm mahogany undertone.
Nose
Sea-salted air mingles with warm oak, opening to a lush sherry depth of dried figs, raisins, and dates with orange zest. Vanilla, toffee, and almond nuances weave through cocoa and spice—nutmeg and clove—carrying a refined maritime lift. A coastal, lingering finish.
Palate
Rich and refined on the palate, this 38-year Glenglassaugh glides through a sherry-inflected tapestry of raisin, fig and orange zest, layered with toffee and cocoa. Nutty almond notes mingle with delicate oak spice, a touch of sea-salt brine lending coastal edge, yielding a long, elegant finish that lingers with soft warmth.
Finish
Long, coastal finish of rich dried fruit, candied orange and cocoa, lifted by subtle spice. Sherry influence lingers with a warm sweetness, while toasted oak and a whisper of sea salt slowly fade to a refined, lasting glow.
