Glenglassaugh Revival

기존의 쉐리/버번/피트와 결이 다른 느낌을 쑤욱 받았는데요, 몰티함이 고소하게 잘 느껴졌고, 목넘김에서 레드베리의 한방이 있어서 재미있었습니다, 신기한것은 피니쉬에서 스파이시하지 않은 화사함이 아주 특징적으로 올라와서 놀랐습니다. 몰티-베리-화사의 흐름이 아주 맘에 들었습니다🌼

My first Glenglassaugh was this Revival expression, which i believe is the first one released after the reopening of the distillery in 2013. This whisky has been matured in red wine casks, sherry casks and ex bourbon. Bottled at 46%abv, pale straw color. On the nose it starts very appealing then after a first sip everything falls terribly. My first nosing lifted me up since i had no expectations on this dram and it was all about grapes. Lots of grapy aromas, white wine, acetone, star anise, champagne. It is definitively young and rough on the edges but the nose is very sympathic, Sugar syrup; Nice barley sweetness. Very sugary. BUT, after a first sip, the nose became too harsh, it lost some of its sweetness, aromas dropped quite heavily. Not a good thing. On the palate, it is fairly enjoyable and it continues the same profile from the first nosing. Rich grapes, Plums, White wine, Pepper and Green apples. A second sip gave me more apples, but it also became a little rougher. Aftertaste was very simple but decent. Dry finish, with a raw rice feeling, some grapes and spices. Overall, this is an everyday dram, easy to drink but even if it intended to deliver nice aroma and tasting notes, it is inconsistent through sips, falling dramatically in its flavor profile. My score for it is a truthful 75 over 100. I need to explore more from this distillery to finally give my overall opinion of their range.

Sweet marmalade nose, bready aftertaste.

Sweet with a light peet. Not too smoky
