Tasting Notes
Glenglassaugh 40 Year Old - 1972 | The Hunter Producer Notes
Nose: An abundance of herbs, dried fruits and a hint of fresh black pepper. With time fresh apples give way to more robust sherry notes and biIer chocolate.
Palate: Fresh apple and cinnamon, more black pepper and plenty of rich sherry notes. Water brings zesty ginger and Seville orange marmalade leading to freshly roast coffee.
Finish: Spicy oak and malted barley contribute to a very long finish.
