Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 44.5%

An old bottle of single cask Glenglassaugh 1973 41-year-old bottled without colouring or chill filtration during Billy Walker's brief tenure.

Walker's Benriach Distillery Co. only owned Glenglassaugh between 2013 and 2016 but made a significant impact in that time, beginning the process of digging out the best casks from the distillery's inventory. This 1973 single cask edition was finished in a Massandra sherry puncheon that yielded 388 bottles at an easy drinking 44.5%.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Colour: Warm harvest gold.

Nose: Dried pineapple, banana and golden sultanas warmed by hints of stem ginger and white pepper spice. Candied peel notes soften to a unique sweet oak character.

Palate: A fresh crisp lime zest flows over green apple and pear. Hints of tantalising ripe tropical fruits emerge in the mid palate and combine with delicate cigar box spices and a gentle oiliness, bringing great depth to the long exclusive vintage.

Finish: A fantastically vibrant expression for a malt of this vintage, giving a diverse combination of classic fruit and spiced flavours.
