Glenglassaugh – 40 Year Old 1973 Vintage (70cl, 42.5%)

A Highland single malt from Glenglassaugh, distilled in 1973 and bottled on 13 November 2013 at 40 years old. It was selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker and comes from the distillery's pre-closure stocks. The whisky is bottled at 42.5% ABV, with natural colour and without chill filtering. Each bottle is individually numbered and comes in its original presentation case. The nose is tropical, with ripe banana, pineapple and mango alongside a gentle Oloroso sherry influence. The palate is rich and syrupy, with toffee apples and mango, balanced by ginger and cocoa spice. The finish is long, with lingering sherry sweetness and light spice.
