Glen Grant 23 years 1998 - 2021 for Sansibar Whisky 10th Anniversary

Especially for Sansibar Whisky's 10th anniversary, the Whisky Agency has released a single cask. They chose a 23-year-old Glen Grant that underwent maturation on a sherry butt. Finally bottled at cask strength and a real powerhouse that is perfectly balanced.

Tasting note

Nose

Red fruit is the first thing that stands out. Braised red fruit with nice bitter aromas. Marmalade of yellow fruits like peach and nectarine. Nice sweet/sour balance.

Taste

Full-bodied with the wood aroma evident. The sherry cask has done its best. Here also the marmalade, but more red apple and stewing pear. Even a small hint of smoke. Each sip makes this whisky more palatable, revealing a little more each time.

Finish

Medium-long with the powerful wood character lingering the longest. Some nutty notes here too.
