Сложный старый солодовый виски с доминированием спелых фруктов, воска, мёда и сдержанных пряностей в традиционном стиле, заслуживший высокие оценки за выдающийся аромат, несмотря на споры о влиянии бочки.
развернуть подробно
Комплексный аромат этого тридцатитрехлетнего напитка объединяет множество оттенков: от садовых и экзотических фруктов, дыни и спелых яблок до нот старых книг, сырого погреба, пчелиного воска и тонкого табачного дыма. Опытные эксперты сходятся во мнении, что нос является сильнейшей стороной образца, восхищая своей многогранностью и балансом без доминирования древесности. Вкус маслянистый и переливающийся, сочетающий сладость нектаринов, хризантемного чая, ванили, легких виноградных оттенков с древесными пряностями, кожей и едва уловимым следом хереса, хотя в бочковой истории наблюдаются путаница между вторичным хересом и бурбоном. Послевкусие долгое, согревающее, суховатое и пряное, с отчетливыми нотами дуба и лакированного дерева. Критика сводится к чрезмерной сухости во вкусе у некоторых ревьюеров и исключительно высокой стоимости бутылки, однако общая согласованность оценок держится на стабильно высоком уровне около девяноста баллов.

Bright with a good amount of fruits -- cantaloupes, ripe apples/pears, honeydew, with some honey mixed in. I also caught a few whiffs of something interesting that I just cannot pinpoint. The nose is the best part.

A bit dry initially, with honeyed chrysanthemum tea and some nectarines. Wood spice. A bit too long in the barrel? Oily texture but not warm and thick (perhaps because we were drinking this out in the cold?).

A bit oaky, tart, continued sweetness. A good, aged bourbon cask. I just looked at the cask info: it's mostly matured in refill sherry... not much sherry detected, FWIW.

[January, 2021] Finally, after tasting a lot of new bottlings released just before Christmas I find the time to go for the samples provided by a good friend some time ago... ...and this is an excellent start, as expected. These old Glenglassaugh offer complex and very tasty profiles, mostly and this is a trademark example of such a fine old-style malt. Unfortunately this is way too expensive these days, but if you come across a sample go for it.

The colour is deep gold and the nose offers a complex and delicate old spirit-driven profile with lots of different fruits (both home-grown and exotic) in a firm spicy-waxy setting. This is exactly what I like about the traditional (old) style of malt whisky: Many different tasty aromas combine to a complex and balanced mixture without entering a fierce bottle over dominance (as with so many modern drams). A nose to sniff for hours.

The taste is nicely layered starting with all the fruits before the spices jump in. The waxes and florals take their time to show up but after they did the profile gets even more powerful. This is an interesting back-and-forth of sweet and bitter flavours which is a lot of fun to explore. The sherry is rather shy (the cask was quite exhausted but this is good for long-time maturations like this) which fits perfectly to the subtle malt aromas. And the short finish was perfect to not overpower these delicate flavours with wooden notes - I wish today's master blenders would act as careful but the modern "whisky zeitgeist" is different, unfortunately.

The initial mouthfeel is warming and instantly coating with some peppery moments which are not distracting at all. The finish is long and adds more waxes and spices that turn the profile even more old-stylish. There is no bitter or astringent impression until the very end, this dram was bottled at the right time. Water releases tasty honey aromas in the nose and turns the taste smoother but the layers are gone now (like so often). I like to nose this dram somewhat reduce but prefer to drink it neat (using two glasses).

a delayed-explosion dram, developing almost unexpectedly on the tongue.. a wax bomb.. hyper-aged perfection mix of late autumn fruits and old books scents.. the extinguishing smoke of a single cigarette hanging around in a cold, empty room.. the earthy, muddy scents mixed with barley, yeast and moldy wood in an old dunnage warehouse in Scotland.. everything that comes after this nose is good, great even.. but the nose is simply stellar

I was wondering why a bourbon barrel with an approx capacity of 190 - 200 litres was able to yield 275 bottles of 0,7l (= 192,5litres!) after 33 years maturation time. This would have meant that the angels only lowered the alcohol. What is the miracle behind? It was for 32 years a refill Sherry butt, and for the last 12 months, the whisky was finished in a fresh bourbon barrel. See also the info I have found on the Glenglassaugh webside (published June8th 2012) Chosen Few After the success of the last Chosen Few, we are just about to release the next one. This time it is a 1978 refill sherry cask which has spent the last 12 months of its life in a first fill bourbon. It is another complex whisky which is well balanced with the classic Glenglassaugh fruit flavours and the spices and drying that come from the wood. It will again be bottled at cask strength and without the use of colouring and with no use of chill filtration. The whisky has been chosen by Mhairi McDonald who is the production manager at the distillery and who many of you will have met if you have visited here, as she often takes people round the distillery.

This 33 year old Glassaugh is a mystery. Matured according to the description on the bottle in bourbon barrels, according to the information at this point before 32 years in refine sherry casks, it shows very clear sherry tones and plays in the aftermath with the notes of light grapes, ripe cherries, vanilla and cinnamon. The longer you look at this malt, the more exciting the story, because now also pulls out of the Nosingglas the fruit and from the Bordeaux red wine glass signify very definitely mint, oak and leather. This is a malt that should give you time - he thanks it with a long, intense pleasure ...
