W.O.W. (Wicked Outstanding Whisky)
$65 usd
NAS, non-chill filtered, no color, 50% abv
Opened on a whim and wow, just wow!
This whisky...damn!
Butterscotch, malt vanilla biscuit, sugar cookie...tropical fruit, hint of banana...tiny apples...flowers...coconut syrup(the kind you have in Hawaii)...touch of clay or putty way, way in the back...
The arrival is sweet and syrupy with a little tang. Well balanced with its atmosphere. Development swells in intensity. I recon because of the taster preference of 50% abv. Thank you for that Glenglassaugh.
The finish is of a moderate duration leaving me with pear and oak and a kind of chewy-ness.
Highly recommend for the sweet seekers and also a nice break for the peat seekers.
This distillery came back into production in 2008. So age statements are still pending. However if this is a sign of what’s to come...I anxiously await! And for all of that I would give this a gold medal. 94! Glenglassaugh you are onto something special. Keep up the the good work.
