Glenglassaugh 10 Year Old Cask

This latest Rare Cask Release is a Highland single malt whisky that was hand selected and bottled exclusively for the U.K. It spent its ten year long maturation in Oloroso sherry puncheon casks, and has yielded 713 bottles in the release. Distilled on the 4^th of June 2010, this arrives at a hearty strength of 57% abv. This expression is free from chill filtration and artificial colouring.

The nose is full of a plethora of berry fruits, with a certain cocoa dryness accompanying ground coffee notes. The palate is a big hit of vanilla, followed by pineapple, coconut milk, and banana. The finish is long, lingering, with hints of creaminess.
