$5,800.00

Overflowing with energy and remarkable in its saltiness and freshness, this Glen Grant 1955 60-year-old is packed full with an abundance of ripe fruit and precious spices. Its backbone is formed of tannins so silky they give you goosebumps. Simply beautiful in its classic appeal, it is both similar to and different from the Glen Grant 1955 in our 2015 Collection. More cousins than they are blood brothers, they share a childlike spirit.

Description

Tasting Notes


Nose
: Ample, complex. Marked by dried fruits (fig, walnut), the influence of a salty sherry wine, leather, and chocolate, the first nose is a model of sherry cask ageing. It evolves with freshness towards red fruits (strawberry, raspberry), apricot-peach and citrus (lime). Spices (cardamom, clove, nutmeg) and heady flowers (tuberose, peony) complete this venerable aromatic palette.

Palate : Dynamic, silky. Cocoa powder, licorice, emery cloth, concrete iris, and infused sage are some of the ingredients that provide its impressive mouthfeel with complexity and richness. The mid-palate is roasted (coffee, tea) and spicy (saffron, cumin, turmeric). It should be noted that it is constantly refreshed by the juice of numerous fruits, whether they are black (blackberry, blueberry), fresh (peach, apricot), or exotic (mango, guava).

Finish : Long, caressing. Its powdered tannins barely leave an imprint on the taste buds. In reality, they underline all the elegance of the finish. Upon aeration, notes of varnish, wax, dark chocolate, and salted butter caramel take over the palate. The retro-olfaction is so grandiloquent that it oscillates between spices, fruits, and heady flowers. The empty glass takes us through the cellars of the Gordon & MacPhail house where some of the oldest casks in the world are in front of us.
