GlenGlasgagh GLENGLASSAUGH 1976-2015 38yo OB for THE WHISKY HOOP #1271/1 42.9%
One of 148 bottles, OLOROSO SHERRY HOGSHEAD
The aroma features caramelized nuts, maple syrup, berry jam, overripe夕張melon (Yubari), bitter chocolate, balsamic vinegar, and a subtle roasted grain and peat note from the depth.
On the palate, it expands with a rich aroma similar to the nose—berry jam, ripe Yubari melon sweetness, maple syrup's sweetness, a velvety sweetness, balsamic vinegar acidity, good tannins, and peat emerges from the depth. The finish is fruity and long-lasting.
【Very Good】
This official GlenGlasgagh 1976 single cask, aged for 38 years, was bottled specifically for THE WHISKY HOOP.
It initially presented a stronger sherry character with some seasoning notes, but over time it has mellowed.
Tasting within a week of opening shows a well-developed sherry character and complex aromas.
Particularly notable are the fruity notes of berry jam and overripe melon, alongside a strong yet balanced peat presence.
Not only is it delicious, but the diverse aromas are also enjoyable. It's rich yet doesn't cause fatigue, making it highly impressive.
