My tasting notes

• Appearance Dark yellow /amber gold (9/20), numerous, quick, medium tears and long, medium legs.
• Nose More cereal notes present immediately, malted barley, summer meadow florality, sweet, apples, apple pie, baked apple and poached pear, vanilla, touch nutty, woody oak and herbal.
• Taste Rounder and richer plus more than a touch spicier than the NAS expression, cinnamon and apple pie, more wood and cereal ‘husk’, nutmeg, nutty hazelnut, apple and vanilla Danish pastries.
• Finish Medium-long, oak wood, spiced apple pie and lemon meringue pie.
• Overall Again light, fresh and zesty with a touch of florality, this aged expression seems much more mealy with cereal and husk notes, another very well presented single malt from Glen Grant.

Score 83/100
