Glasgow 1770 Syrah Wine Cask Finish (Unpeated)
Each year, the team at the Glasgow distillery fills a wide range of interesting and unique cask types, experimenting with their influence on the various styles of whisky the distillery produces. For this limited edition, its unpeated, double-distilled single malt was initially filled into a pair of bourbon barrels in February 2020, then re-racked for a generous one year and ten months finish in Greek syrah (shiraz) red wine barriques from the island of Evia. Bottled at a hearty 59.3% ABV, it's a characterful sipper, laden with oaken vanilla and caramel, joined by jammy dark fruits, chocolate, and spice. A release of 652 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Layers of tropical fruit and dried berries, with toasted oak, toffee, and vanilla.
Palate
Caramel and vanilla open the way for dark, vinous fruits, jammy notes of blackberries, cherries, cocoa, and a touch of pepper.
Finish
Dark cherry chocolate, biscuity malt, nutmeg, and woody spice.
