Glen Grant 23 years 1997 - 2020 Fazzino

Acclaimed pop artist Charles Fazzino created the label for this Glen Grant and it has become a true work of art. The contents of the bottle are also a work of art, but distilled by Glen Grant and selected by Sansibar, the acclaimed independent bottler from Germany.

Tasting note

Nose

Patience is rewarded, as at first the aroma is still very subdued. If you leave the glass alone for a while, you will see that it develops quickly. After five minutes, we did get a little impatient, but the whisky was already a lot more open. Tropical fruit, kunquat, pear, almonds, small hint of aniseed and nice wood aromas fill the nose.

Taste

Mildly sweet is the first thing that comes to mind. Bitter sweet as we know from rhubarb, hint of gooseberry provides a nice sweet/sour balance. Lots of spice, lots of yellow fruit and here the wood comes out nicely. The mouth is well filled with delicious flavours.

Finish

Heather honey and wood is what we are left with on the palate.
