Glenglassaugh 21yo 46%

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

I saw this job advertised in the Northern Scot - if any one gets this job having seen it on here I am due a bottle!

BRAND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

This is a unique opportunity to join a small dedicated team based in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire. Within the last 12 months we have re-furbished a silent distillery re-commencing production at the end of 2008 after a 22 year gap. We have also launched a series of Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskies in selected UK outlets and have more exciting projects under development and in the planning stage. This position is for a commercially-orientated Brand Development Manager to join and carve out a career with us. This role is not for an academic marketer but will require someone who is entrepreneurial, creative and results-focused. The role is based at the distillery but there will also be some requirement to travel throughout the year. Knowledge and experience of the drinks industry is preferred but not essential as the most important elements are being commercially astute, having highly effective people skills, being results focused, adaptable, ambitious and energetic and being a team player.If you feel that this is the challenge for you and that you have the attributes that we are looking for then apply on-line enclosing a full CV with salary expectations to: info@glenglassaugh.com marked for the attention of Stuart Nickerson.
