[Very Good] Signatory bottled this GlenGrant 1967 for the Italian market, aged for 30 years. From the first whiff, the intoxicating nobility of 1960s Sherry is immediately apparent, creating a thrilling sensation. The Sherry cask characteristics are concentrated in dried fruits, complemented by chocolate, coffee, herbs, and spices, with a grape-like juiciness. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth, with ample expansion for a watered-down whisky. The Sherry cask's fruity sweetness and balanced woody tannins enhance the flavor, leaving a lingering intoxicating aftertaste. Both aroma and taste reveal complex components that are easily discernible, likely due to the water addition. This bottle exemplifies an ideal watered-down old Sherry. #GlenGrant (GLENGRANT)
