Glenglassaugh 1972 44 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Cask 1721 700mL

Part of the Rare Cask Release series from the Highland distillery, this single cask expression is limited to just 479 bottles. Distilled on 25th October 1972 and matured in a Massandra sherry cask for 44 years before bottling in November 2016.

An amazing whisky from 1972 which shows great age but doesn't even taste too old.

• Nose

  the beautiful abundance of dark fruits, blackberry jam, and a handful of brambles. Prune juice with stewed fruits and some helpings of marzipan.
  With time a big aroma of prunes begins taking over.

• Taste

  Very full and fruity, gentle cinnamon spice livening up the palate, a gentle tingle. Delicate woody notes, and a slight orange bitterness but it doesn't manage to take away from the fruitiness and manuka honey.

• Finish

  Slightly drying, some dried prunes, gentle oak, and soft spice.
