Сложный возрастной виски с доминирующим влиянием хересных бочек и тропических фруктов, сочетающий маслянистую текстуру и элегантность при некоторой усеченности послевкусия.
развернуть подробно
В аромате и вкусе этого тридцатилетнего напитка ярко проявляются классические хересные ноты: темные сушеные фрукты, изюм, инжир, сливы, шоколад и пряности вроде корицы и черного перца, которые гармонично переплетаются с фирменными для винокурни тропическими фруктами, бананами и манго, а также легкими оттенками табака, кожи и лакированного дерева. Опытнейшие знатоки ценят его за округлость, сбалансированность, маслянистость и отсутствие избыточной древесной горечи, хотя часть дегустаторов отмечает излишнюю сухость, пыльность или доминирование хереса, скрывающего оригинальный характер спиртов. Основные споры касаются длительности и яркости послевкусия: одни находят его согревающим и продолжительным, другие считают недостаточно плотным и быстро угасающим. Оценки стабильно высокие, большинство сходится на высоком качестве бочковой выдержки и богатстве палитры.

Blind tasting. This is a rather wonderful stylish spirit with no harshness; the one major criticism is that the effect simply doesn't stay very strong in the finish but tails off to a very slight pleasant aftertaste

Although it is 30 years old, it does not have the unpleasant woody bitterness or the heavy leather astringency. Overall, it is a standard, stable sherry cask whisky. However, the sweetness in the middle is not sufficient.

Many anise, sage and bay leaves on the nose and on the palate. Not at all my thing.
In my opinion the typical Glenglassaugh style is too much hidden behind sherry notes. This is a bit disappointing to me. Indeed still a very good single malt. But (too much?) different to the Glenglassaugh style before.
This Whisky was sold for 355€ at Whiskyauction in March 2016
This is a grand Glenglassaugh, that slept on quality sherry casks. The sherry influence is unmistakable, but it is quite becoming for this whisky.

A whisky close to the perfection of sherry cask aging. Sherry. But complex. Barrel intense but not dominating and not a hint of sharpness with the most intense aromas. A great whisky.
A quite nice dram with lots of complexity in the nose!

Very round and elegant, but full-bodied and delicious. Perfect daily sipper if it weren't for the price...
I must say that in my glass, dust and bitterness, spices and cinnamon dominated sweetness. I lacked body density and taste, which quickly left me at the finish line.

One of the best malts I have ever had

Rich sherry notes combine with a medley of boiled fruits to give a highly complex single malt. Not chill-filtered, no colour added
Very subtle whisky, full flavor and yet soft.
Comparison of the 2013 and 2015 bottlings I will therefore concentrate primarily on the differences between these two outstanding bottlings. Visually, the 2015 bottling is 2 shades lighter, but there is no difference in the legs.

| Нос | 92 | Both bottlings are really fun and it's more a matter of preference. The 2015 bottling seems fresher, more ethereal (perhaps even a touch more alcoholic) and fruitier with mainly light and dark dried fruits and berries. The 2013 bottling seems a little more intense and deeper with mainly dark dried fruits, complemented by more chocolate, tobacco and a little leather. I prefer the 2013 bottling. 92 to 90 points |
| Вкус | 93 | Both bottlings have a very oily mouthfeel, the 2013 version starts with a lot of sweetness, which is immediately offset by dark chocolate and roasted nuts. 2015 actually starts off sweet, but immediately becomes a little more bitter and dry. For me here 93 to 89 for the 2013 |
| Финиш | 91 | The 2015 seems to last a little longer with dried apricots, cherries and a hint of overripe banana. The cherry can also be found in the 2013, but here it is complemented by raisins and dates. Here 92 to 91 for the 2015 |
Nice old sherry style. The nose does not yet promise what is to come, but this sherry has a sweet, sticky, powerful body! I'm not a sherry lover but this bottling is really fun!!

After a few months of opening the bottle it becomes more balanced and the sweetness kicks in earlier - thus, rating bumbed up a bit - very good

| Нос | 91 | Reluctant peppery, oaky, a little bit of banana and some other fruits - pretty good |
| Вкус | 92 | Pretty peppery, little oaky, with some vanilla notes, sherry notes, subtle sweetness with some fruity notes - primarily bananas, apricot, grapes - very good |
| Финиш | 92 | Long, warm, little more woody, spicy |

Overestimated. Superb nose but the taste is not really complex and the finish somehow unpleasant and bland.
Bottle from the remains of luxury Dram 242. Lcode wiped the sweaty hands of potential buyers. Despite 44.8% and about a hundred in the tails, everything is in place. The aroma and taste (if you are blind) correspond to the old sherry Macaques. This is a great malt. 4333`93 Thanks Billy Walker

| Нос | 94 | Nose: dried dried fruits, led by pear and fig (definitely contains iodine). A wooden lacquered case for pipes/tobacco, the tobacco itself (hello Erinmore) is in place... coffee with cream and milk chocolate, custard. There is BOTH effect - no dust from grandma's closet - a bright and lively fruit malt. |
| Вкус | 93 | Everyone will like the taste: from cognac connoisseurs to people who have never drank anything other than vodka. Fruity sweetness and tart berries crushed on a wet oak cutting board. |
| Финиш | 93 | In the aftertaste (long, like a winter night) there is a holiday, most associated with Christmas. Warm, warming, tart and a bit of spice (cloves and black pepper). |
Strong sherry, medium complexity.

I've now emptied at least two bottles of it in the last 12-13 years, plus quite a few samples. And still no notes from me? That has to change!! With water: no, it doesn't need it, but we'll try it with a few drops anyway. The sherry leans more towards plum and date notes, more raisins, and the cinnamon is much more intense; mango, papaya, and even a hint of salt emerge, wonderfully balanced on the tongue. Definitely experiment with adding a little water. Conclusion: I love this sherry. The sherry is wonderfully integrated and battles with the tropical fruit notes characteristic of the distillery. The battle ends in a draw; the winner is the spectator, meaning us, who can experience this struggle on our palates. Top of class when we're talking about standard 30-year-old bottlings. By the way: Better than the later bottling at 42%

This Glenglassaugh is for me (so far) the reference class for 30 year old whiskys without peat. A really great distillate. Info on packaging (without rating): Unfortunately - although in a really high-quality bottle that is a bit like a flacon - one relies on the cheapest-looking outer packaging made of thin cardboard.

More, please! A true to form old Glenglassaugh with its trademark ripe tropical fruitiness in the driver's seat. Tasted with Benriach 27yo 1987 cask 3825 (84), Glendronach 26yo 1992 cask 179 (89), Glendronach 26yo 1992 cask 8314 (89), and Glenallachie 31yo 1989 cask 6117 (87).
This 30-year-old Gran Grasso sherry cask flavor is intense and was one of the first whiskies released after Billy and his team took over. It's a very authentic Billy sherry-style blend, rich and long-lasting, truly captivating. ????

| Нос | 90 | Rich and deep black berry flavor, with notes of wheatgrass smoke, raisins, and preserved plums; a deep inhale reveals a hint of tobacco. |
| Вкус | 91 | The initial taste is somewhat similar to cognac, sweet and smooth, very oily, with notes of caramel, brown sugar ginger tea, roasted almonds, and cinnamon. After chewing, a hint of white pepper emerges on the tongue. |
| Финиш | 88 | The finish is medium but smooth, with notes of raisins, woody notes, and dark chocolate. |
Nice fruitiness but a little sulphery to score higher
