88 / 100
The Sherry Cask detail has a clear place here: dark berries and molasses on the nose lead into syrupy grapes, cocoa and dried fruits on the palate. That gives this 25-year-old Glen Grant a rich, balanced feel without making it sound all sweetness. The long finish brings coffee and caramelized bitterness, with a slightly dry edge that may not suit everyone. There’s plenty to enjoy in the contrast, and the cask character stays front and centre.
