Glenbridge 40 Bottling Note
There has been an unbelievable level of hype about this whisky, and largely due to the fact it's quite an unusual thing! This, my friends, is Aldi's 40 year old whisky - Glenbridge 40! We tasted this with the whisky legend Jim Murray and we must say, it is staggeringly good! Sadly it is sold out pretty much everywhere, so if you're hankering for a great value-for-money 40 year old, why not try our own classic
40 year old whisky.
Nose: Sherry, Rancio, big fruit, Brazil nut shells, very pleasant indeed.
Palate: Sherry fruit, date, walnut, rye spice, bubblegum, dries slightly.
Finish: Touch of peppermint, the cask definitely makes itself known – maybe slightly over the hill, but all in all a pretty good finish.
Overall: A ‘good’ whisky. There’s one true test of whether a whisky is ‘good enough’, and that’s whether or not you’d reach for another glass. This is, and I did.
