Glen grant 1953 Tasting Notes

Nose: Cherry jam, berry liqueur, lots of sherry and a little bit of resin. Further richer – red oranges, dried apricots, the aroma of fruit trees, dried fruits, soft wallet leather, an old desk. Nutmeg, dates, camphor.

Palate: Complex and complex. First resin, chocolate, liquor. Dried fruits. Wood – lots of wood, but not overly so. Lots of halftones. Nutmeg, rowan, black currant, cranberry and pine needles. Pine bark, berries, wax, ginger-pepper notes, cinnamon emerge on the palate.

Finish: Sweetish at the beginning and very oaky. With chocolate, then peppery and finally even copper aftertaste. Long. A feast of dried fruits and oranges. It’s great that it was possible to maintain a completely sane vivacity of whisky for so many years. Excellent barrel work.
