Glen Grant
The Coopers Choice 1977 (28 Year Old) Sherry Cask Single malt Scotch Whisky
Scotland, United Kingdom
28 year old 1977 Glen Grant sherry wood whisky bottled by The Coopers Choice. Medium brown, cherry-wood hue. Ever so slightly cloudy from lack of chill-filtration. On the nose, quite savoury and medicinal, with some herbal tea, garrigue and dark chocolate notes. The wood is very appealing on this whisky - old and mature, charcoals, peppery and slightly smokey. On the palate, dry, full on concentration, oily and textural and warming alcohol. Medium plus to full body. The length is ridiculous - goes on for a good 5 minutes. The type of whisky you'll be able to still taste the next morning. One of the all time best whiskies I have had. Huge complexity and intellectual in nature, provoked by the savoury, medicinal nature of the whisky despite the sherry wood long maturation - not a hint of Christmas cake here. Extraordinary.
