I recently worked through bottles of the GG 10 and 16. They were okay, nothing particularly notable. This is my first experience with their current line, so I’m hoping this is an improvement. Nose: Apple, pear, and apricot. Golden raisin. Lemon, lime, and orange citrus. Vanilla, caramel, and toffee. Heavy malt and vanilla frosting. Clove, nutmeg, and oak. Palate: Apple, pear, and apricot. Cinnamon red hots. Toffee, vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar. Salt water taffy. Sugar cookie. Cashew and almond. Clove, nutmeg, and oak. Finish: Apple, pear, apricot, raisin, and plum. Sugar cookie. Caramel, toffee, and vanilla. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Moderate-length finish. This is a very good. whisky. Solid, somewhat unique profile with a nice mouthfeel. After trying the 10 and the 16 and comparing them to this, I think it’s safe to say that this profile thrives at a higher proof. At $100, this is good VFM for a 15-year old bottled at 50%. My first venture into Glen Grant’s revamped portfolio is a success and is certainly an upgrade over the older j expressions I tried. Well done, Glen Grant. 4/5.
