As with many older Glen Grant malts, the nose is fruity and vibrant with notes of peaches, apricots, a hint of red apples, honey, and dried flowers. The taste is fruity and nectar-thick with peaches, red apples, honey, and a hint of allspice that adds balance. The finish is long and fruity with a touch of spice. Wow! (December, 2018)
