![]() Then faint leathery notes and subtle almonds. I really like the fruity acidity with the underlying sweetness. Nose: red apples and peaches, as well as some tart fruits, like oranges. Glenglassaugh 8 yo 2013 – Autumn (46%, Glen Clyde Whisky ‘MGAW’ 2021, Four seasons, first fill Madeira barrique, 120 btl.) I don’t find this particularly exciting, but I’ve had worse Port finishes. This reminds me of the early days of finishing. Cooked apples, pear syrup and candied orange peels.įinish: medium, with vague fruity echoes, but also a tangy hint of citrus peel and a dark hint of chocolate. Still these red berries and wine gums, but they are rather soft. Mouth: a bit unbalanced now, showing a lot of malty porridge with an alcoholic edge. Hints of peonies, but also a slightly funky hint of lanolin. Light cinnamon, baking bread and caramel. Red berries and rhubarb compote, with echoes of strawberry jam. Nose: typical Port nose, albeit rather quiet. ![]() ![]() Glenglassaugh 8 yo 2013 – Summer (46%, Glen Clyde Whisky ‘MGAW’ 2021, Four seasons, first fill Port barrique, 120 btl.) The PX adds sweetness but leaves enough room for the fruity spirit to shine. Whiffs of sweet coffee.Ĭlearly youngish but certainly not unpleasant. Then white pepper, orange peels and ginger comes out, as well as light herbal notes.įinish: medium, on barley, vanilla and mild wood spice. There’s honey and vanilla, with golden raisins and hints of caramelised peaches. Mouth: still quite bright and fruity with a malty core. Then whiffs of brown sugar, marshmallows and ginger biscuits come out, with hints of fresh oak shavings. Nose: plenty of yellow apples and ripe pears, with hints of pineapple in the background. Glenglassaugh 8 yo 2013 – Spring (46%, Glen Clyde Whisky ‘MGAW’ 2021, Four seasons, first fill Pedro Ximénez barrique, 120 btl.) They’re all priced around € 100 per bottle. Potentially a very educational series to learn about the differences between cask types. I received a set of four Glenglassaugh 2013 whiskies bottled by GlenClyde Whisky and exclusive to Whisky World, a retailer in Rīgā (Latvia). However in the past five years I’ve only reviewed two expressions – it’s just not in the spotlight any more. They definitely had a nice momentum under Billy Walker, who unearthed some excellent old casks and composed a few good entry-level whiskies as well. I’m not sure what became of Glenglassaugh.
