Glen Grant
21 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Category: Speyside Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted:
Country: Scotland
Alcohol: 46%
Gold color. Aromas and flavors of toasted coconut, vanilla marzipan with spiced peaches, baked apple and caramel on bread pudding, and toasted brioche and nougat with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, elegant, medium-long finish with notes of coconut, marzipan, and cocoa nibs, spiced peach, nectarine and poached pears, and salted butterscotch. A delicious and classic Speyside beauty elevated with a bit more barrel character and spicy intrigue.
