Glasgow 1770 2019 6 Year Old, Sherry Cask Matured
The Tasting Notes
Elegant cedarwood and polished oak aromas intertwine with fresh pencil shavings and a hint of earthiness. Sweet citrus notes of clementine and orange emerge alongside toffee apples, vanilla cream, and a soft, inviting veil of sweet smoke.
Sweet peat smoke leads into a richly textured palate of raisins, dark fruits, and waxy citrus oils. Candied orange peel & zesty orange oil provide brightness and complexity, while layers of vanilla and subtle oak spice create a harmonious balance between.
Gently drying and well-structured, revealing warming oak spice, ground coffee, a subtle saline note, lasting orange oil, and a prolonged tendril of sweet smoke.
Details
Glasgow 1770 has partnered with the renowned Spanish sherry house Ximénez-Spínola for this collaborative release, bringing together their whisky styles with two of the producer's sherries.
The release combines unpeated single malt finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks with peated single malt finished in Medium sherry casks, creating a combination of sweetness and smoke.
Distilled in 2019 and bottled at 6 years old, this expression showcases both the peated and unpeated sides of Glasgow 1770 alongside the influence of Ximénez-Spínola's sherry casks.
