Glen Grant 40 years old 1969 Signatory Cask Strength Collection Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Glen Grant

“Quite an experience. Not sure what kind of sherry had the cask before because it was left just the slightlest aromas of nuts and powder. Boom Glen Grant!”

Glen Grant 40 year 1969 Cask Strength Collection
A beautifully dark whisky from Glen Grant bottled by Signatory.

This scotch whisky was distilled on the 17th March 1969 and matured for 40 years in a single cask, a fresh Oloroso sherry hogshead number 2016.

This single malt whisky was bottled at cask strength on the 14th September 2009. There are just 188 bottles of this!

A nice example of nice sulphured whisky. Excellent Glen Grant.

This dram has a old oak-like color.

Nose (89): average. candies, spices, nuts, pepper, citrus, floral.

Palate (90): smooth, oily. sweet, citrus, wood, spices, powder, floral.

Finish (90): longer than average. sweet, spices, citrus.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glen Grant 40 year 1969 Cask Strength Collection with 90 points over 100.
