Glen Grant 25yo "Sherry Finish Oloroso" cask #130818-19

A very impressive old Glen Grant that fully showcases the

wonderful interaction of this evergreen Speyside malt with Oloroso

sherry casks. Still vibrant and youthful, it flaunts a wonderfully

crisp maltiness with the typically subtle, almost undetectable, hint

of peat of this legendary distillery. Very soon, the fruity and

delicate notes of the distillate are backed by the sherry: not in a

fat, winey and heavy way, but with an agile tapestry of tannins and

the very dry, nutty astringency of the best Oloroso. The result is

an obviously old malt in its richness and complexity, but it

manages to retain liveliness and to strike the perfect balance

between the distillate and the oak. Wonderful with some seasoned

cheese!
