Customer Rating
“Ok, I'll be honest, I'm not super experienced with whisky, I've only started to get into it over the past 5 years or so and my budget is normally never this high. This was a Christmas gift. My top shelf is usually Glenfiddich 15. But I'm not a total noob, I've tried many different brands in the sub $100 range and have developed a preference, I prefer this! The description above is accurate, but I'd like to add a description....smooth, oh man, this is smooth. Yeah, I know, that isn't a flavor, but it is an adjective. You will be impressed with the flavor, it's not just smooth, it's exciting, it's full of wonderful flavors you'll struggle to identify. If you are thinking about it, just get it, it's worth it. ”

Description
The Glenglassaugh 30 Year Old was the first release from the distillery after the new owners took the reins in 2013, and they certainly started off on the right foot. It is presented in a rather stunning teardrop decanter.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
There just has to be some Sherry cask matured whisky in here, it's rich with sweet Sherry notes, dried fruit and simmering spices. Chewy toffees too, and well aged oak.
Palate
Here we go again, more Sherry notes, but this time balanced with a bigger centre of spice, oak and chocolate. Freshly ground coffee comes into play near the end too, fragrant and rich.
Finish
Chocolate covered nuts and raisins.
Overall
Pretty awesome stuff. It's big and bursting with flavour at every turn.
