Tasting Notes by Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin) Glenglassaugh 30 yo 1978/2008 (49.8%, The Single Malts of Scotland, cask #531, 267 bottles) From a hogshead, probably sherry. Colour: amber with green hues. Nose: quite expressive, starting on notes of rum and even tequila (old anejo) as well as husk, shoe polish, dried beef and Christmas fruitcake. Then we have notes of maple syrup, hints of date brandy (arrak), old leather (horse saddle) and finally a mixture of smoked ham and liquorice. This reminds me of some Glen Mhors – an ‘anti-modern’ malt. Mouth: much rounder than its bros, less grassy (even if these notes of old rum are still there). Candy sugar, caramelised wood (rum again), dried apples, bergamot sweets (a specialty from Nancy in Lorraine), maple syrup and then various soft spices, mostly white pepper and dried cardamom. A slight bitterness (capers?) keeps it pleasantly nervous. Finish: medium long, back on rum and tequila. Also dried bananas, burnt sugar and roasted raisins. Comments: once again an unusual Glenglassaugh, very Caribbean this time. And very good. SGP:551 - 88 points.
