Packaging for Glenglassaugh’s core range is pretty meh but that’s admittedly low on the priority list. Pale straw color with a drop of orange. Thin body. Nose is quite bright. Yeasty and sharp. Bread dough, vanilla, lemon, and grape must.
The palate is gently sweet with a subtle flavor that builds. More lemon-vanilla. A little grassy. Creamy lactose. Young floral highlands notes, but more grainy than malty. 46% ABV adds to the sharp aspartame bite without offending. A few drops of water mute out some of the sharpness but don’t substantially affect the overall experience or takeaways.
Ultimately no objections to the sharp, flowers and cream profile, but tastes quite young and out of balance. Hard to see restocking this one, but you could do worse.
