Was delighted to see Glenglassaugh reopening in November last year have had some really cracking whiskies from their in the past - a particular favourite was the 1973Family Silver bottling that came out a good few years ago. Anyway I know I am way behind the times in trying this but got the chnace to try the 21yo so here goes.
Nose: sweet, lemony, a little bit dry. Limeade, grape skins, peaches, green apples and faint raw mince!
Taste: quite drying, wet pencil shavings, a touch sour, more green notes coming through. Almost seems a little spirity but not - hints of stainless steel.
Finish: a touch of crayons (waxy) quite sour and again more metalic notes.
Comment: nice nose taste let's it down though. May need to retry a fresh sample some day but at this price unlikely to run out and buy a bottle.
Score: 80 / 100
