The Glenglassaugh 30 Year Old was the first release from the distillery after the new owners took the reins in 2013, and they certainly started off on the right foot. It is presented in a rather stunning teardrop decanter.
Testing note~ Nose: There just has to be some Sherry cask matured whisky in here, it's rich with sweet Sherry notes, dried fruit and simmering spices. Chewy toffees too, and well aged oak. Palate: Here we go again, more Sherry notes, but this time balanced with a bigger centre of spice, oak and chocolate. Freshly ground coffee comes into play near the end too, fragrant and rich. Finish: Chocolate covered nuts and raisins. Overall: Pretty awesome stuff. It's big and bursting with flavour at every turn.
