Glenglassaugh 8 Year Old - The Cask Wizard

Smell

The nose opens with a caramel cherry-berry mix. Sweetish, like sugar syrup, wine gums and a little apple lie on the surface. Digging a little deeper, we find herbal and floral notes that make us think of buttercup and sage. Hazelnut is also present. Versatile and exciting!

Taste

Matching the nose, we also find caramel and wine gum in the taste. However, the initial sweetness then splits into two directions. On the outside, we find slightly peppery notes that linger for a long time. Further inside, there is hazelnut again, accompanied by almonds and a dry, herbal green tea note.

Finish

The medium-long finish is distinctly more astringent with an oaky spiciness and a special note reminiscent of wet driftwood.
