Glen Grant 38 Year Old GM Distillery Label - Circulated in the 1980s

The successor bottle to the one featured in Lemon Heart manga. This time, it was quite good without excessive aging. Glen Grant 38 Year Old GM Distillery Labels - 40% ABV, Circulated in the 1980s The aroma has a good old character with apricot jam, plums, orange tea, gentle grains, faint old peat. The palate is smooth with diluted apricot jam sweetness, soft and non-assertive woodiness, with a slight bitterness but a lingering finish without harshness. [Good/Very Good] This is the Glen Grant 38 Year Old from GM that circulated in the 1980s. While the proof-marked Grant's 38 Year Old featured in the manga Lemon Heart is famous, can this be considered its successor? Though it may seem like a vatting, it's likely primarily refill sherry casks. The aroma is gentle but expands with a diverse range of fruity and grainy notes, accompanied by aging character. In the background, there's a faint nuance of old peat that might hint at 1940s distillation specs. Though it has aging character, there's almost no over-aging sensation, and the balance is good, possibly due to dilution. There must be various batches with this label, but among contemporaries, it's a gentle balanced bottle with less sherry influence. Additionally, I just remembered after finishing this article: we actually introduced this bottle two years ago. The tasting notes and evaluation were largely similar, which gave me a sense of relief.
