Glenury Royal 29 Rare Malts Series

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 57%

Score: 95 Points

Want proof that whiskies hold up over time? I tasted this 11 years after it was bottled in 1999, and 40 years after it was distilled in 1970, and it still gets a 95! The nose is dry with notes of wood shavings and a hint of pepper. The taste is pungent and spicy with a blast of chili pepper that fades to reveal notes of old leather and almonds. The finish is smooth and lingering with spicy notes and hints of licorice.
