Avis professionnels

Gal Granov (81)

Nose: Quite creamy on the nose, with an earthy edge to it, which adds a nice quality to it : cereal, vanilla custard, apple and pear (Yes, it’s quite young – but not in a bad way) , spicy oak, and maybe a little bit of acetone / nail polish remover, butterscotch. Not a bad start.

Palate: Starts spicy with a peppery edge, then gets creamy, with the vanilla, and oak, and the fruit, with a bit of citrus fruit, grassy notes as well, more of the cereals and creme catalan.

Finish: spiced up orange marmalade / lemon curd, vanilla and oak.

Words of Whisky (82)

whiskynotes:
Nose: very fruity and sherbety, lots of candy apples, pears, glucose, oranges and vanilla. The vanilla evolves to more grassy notes and pencil shavings. Ginger, cinnamon and white pepper. Light chalky notes. Tomato stems.

Mouth: honeyed and creamy. Plenty of citrus notes, lemonade, with the same peppery hints and a green oak feel to it. Sweet barley. Cinnamon cake. Apples and pears again. Some toasted notes as well.

Finish: medium long, rather spicy (pepper), alongside barley, vanilla and bittersweet oaky touches.
This is indeed a youngish

Glenglassaugh, yet with a clear oaky side. The nice fruity spirit and the overall freshness make up for most of its youth. A nice dram but the price is a bit too high in my opinion.
