The Glasgow Distillery was founded in 2012, and makes whisky, gin, rum and even vodka. Its whisky is sold under the Glasgow 1770 brand, and here we have the first batch in a new series, which brings together very limited edition bottlings, this one is the fruit of three casks, first aged in 1st Fill Bourbon Casks, then having followed a finish in Constantia Wine barrels for 1 year and ten months. Constantia Wine is a very sweet South African dessert wine. 980 bottles were produced, available mainly in the UK.
Let's Taste It :
Luscious nose, lovely sweetness, candied apricots, crunchy cherries, egg custard. A pinch of icing sugar, crushed almonds, blood oranges. English custard, shortbread biscuits, papaya. On the palate, the orange is more intense, but also peaches, clementines and lychees, thick honey, chocolate chips, generous spices, nutmeg, cloves. A rather long finish that takes you by the hand, shortbread dough with fresh butter and almonds, persimmon, melon, pink grapefruit. Fine sand.
In Short,
It's very surprising, very syrupy and fruity, but not bad at all. That's what I like about whisky too, its extreme variety, which allows it to identify with all sorts of products. Here, I have the impression that this is a whisky that is unique in the world. It's still available and if you like curiosities, especially if it's good, I recommend it. All the more so as the price is affordable.
