Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Fruity and coastal sums up the balance of Glenglassaugh's signature style, a profile captured in the newly presented twelve year old. The nose builds with moderate aromas of ovaltine, orange zest, vanilla and moist fruitcake following in a creamy palate of soft yellow fruits, light beeswax and toasted cereals. Salted cracker biscuits, pepper and sprinklings of oak shavings reign in the sugars leaving a fine thread of vanilla and honey. On the understated, elegant side - akin to an amplified version of Glenmorangie 10. Matured in bourbon, sherry and red wine casks. 45% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... Luminous gold in colour with aromas like sweet coastal waves of ripe apricot and fig meld with toasted vanilla and tropical flora, carried on a warm ocean breeze. On the palate is candied pistachio, date and sweet fig roll into waves of morello cherry and whipped cream, infused with fresh coastal air.
