Glen Grant 10 year old 40%
Tasted: Dec 2013
A grassy and herbal nose with under ripe banana, kiwi, gooseberry, thyme and mint. Magnificent intensity with developing green Apple, taught oak, herbal honey.
The palate is fresh and herbal with lightly creamy oak mingling with green Apple, gooseberry. The caramels thicken and develop but some citrus and barley counteracts. Wonderfully juicy and lightly spiced. Long and mouth-watering with the green fruit and winey notes lingering.
Glen Grant 16 year old 43%
Tasted: Dec 2013
A hard and industrial with plenty of cardboard, sugar coated citrus and grubby peat.
The palate is murky and hard with burnt caramel, earth and late creamy oak. Short and hard. In conclusion: This isn’t going to win any awards! [tasted blind]
