Bottlings
September 26, 2011
The richness of the nose is not quite matched by the palate, but the finish again is sensational. Another very fine example of the old Glenglassaugh sherry monsters. – Rating: 87/100

If you like Black Forest cake, this is your whisky! The cherry and chocolate notes ot this malt are simply amazing, the floral hints are restricted to the nose. Mouthfeel is rich and creamy. – Rating: 91/100

This was was the title of a masterclass held by distillery manager Graham Eunson at the Finest Spirits 2011 Festival in Munich.

A big fruity malt with a very creamy mouthfeel and an aromatic spiciness. Very good, but it’s no bargain. – Rating: 88/100
February 4, 2010
In my opinion this experiment does not work. Maturation is too short for much influence of the cask, so it is basically a mixture of the fruity newmake with a little red wine. – Score: 64/100
February 2, 2010
You would not beleive that this is supposed to become whisky once. It reminds more of a pear eau de vie than anything else. Quite enjoyable in its own right though, but with a solid price tag. – Score: 76/100
December 14, 2009
Quite a bit of sherry and quite a bit of tannins from the wood. Almost a bit too stringent but still enjoyable. – Score: 83/100

Among whisky lovers there is a constant debate on how whisky has changed over the years. It is not recommendable to generalize. And to answer the question prematurely: “Yes, but all of it”

Experiments have always played a role in whisky making, especially since the single malt boom took off in the late 1980s and early 1990s. With about a hundred distilleries in Scotland alone, it became neccessary to stand out from the crowd.
