Glenglassaugh Evolution

Tried this at the whisky extravaganza. A very good expression with flavors of apples, sherried fruits, nuts, and spices.

Not sure I would go as high as 96 but absolutely deserving of the high praise. Look up “benchmark single malt” in the dictionary and this should be the example given. About the only thing I can criticize is the color (seems too light to be this good) but every other aspect falls within A-A+ range.

Bought this on a whim. This is a young looking and tasting whisky but still manages to be pretty smooth and silky. The complexity is there with chocolate, vanilla, honey, floral and a hint of salt on the nose. Some apricot joins on the palate and at the back end a hint of peaty smoke. Very nice mouth feel, creamy. The finish is less interesting, floral and honey. Overall a very nice whiskey, would definitely buy again. Sometimes a whim pays off.

Impressive on the nose! A bomber to mind! The sweetness shocks and goes long way through.
