Glenglassaugh Evolution

This is a highly drinkable and approachable Scotch. A great introductory Scotch for a novice with taste, and a fabulous dose of smooth and balanced for the more experienced palate. There’s a comfort with this spirit that is immediate; with its notes of fruit and cream—along with a delicate but well-placed hint of smoke. At home in a flask on a starry night and palatial on the palate from a Glencairn.

Smell is buttery barley. Taste is butter, oak, spice, that then transforms completely and drastically into peppery ripe banana. Never seen a whisky transform in my mouth like that. Finish is long and tingly, with some more fruit and pepper. Scratch that, the pepper is still there. It never goes away. How interesting.

Average on the nose and palate. The finish is full of vanilla ice cream...lovely.
