Single Malt

This is a delicious, though very young, Glenglassaugh from the Chosen Few range, selected and signed by Ronnie Lawrence. It was distilled in September 2009 and was aged for a little over 3 years in a first-fill sherry hogshead before bottling at natural cask strength in early 2013. This is a release of just 348 numbered bottles.
Rich and intensely spiced nose with all kinds of stewed fruit. Hints of burnt sugar, candied peels, Christmas Pudding and brandy butter.
Surprisingly rich and malty palate. Quite sweet and creamy with porridge oats, allspice and aniseed. Big sherry. Tannic and intense.
Medium-length, spicy finish.
Very interesting indeed.
Tastes way above its age. Everyone I had try it said it tastes like a 15 year old
