Hunter Laing Sovereign / 36 Year Old Strathclyde Single Grain Whisky Country: Scotland Region: Lowland Age: 36 Year Old Strength: 58.1% Vintage: 1977 Bottler: Summary: The Hunter Laing Sovereign Single Grain bottlings are increasingly becoming firm favourites with Whisky enthusiasts around the globe. Hunter Laing select only the finest casks which have been lying untouched in cold, dark and damp Scottish warehouses for many decades. Typically their aged Single Grain whiskies have a deliciously sweet and distinctly fruity character as a result of many years in the finest oak casks during maturation. Nose: just about enough thickening grain – and alcohol to make this into a whisky. Otherwise the nose is pure cream oloroso, of the fruitiest variety possible; Taste: the delivery is one mouth coating homage to the gods of sherry, slightly sticky, gently sweetened and dripping in sharp grape and emboldened by a vague but busy spiciness. And so it continues…; Finish: the finish is all about offering balance as the grape at last punches itself out. The oak come into its own now, a kind of spiced Cadbury’s fruit and nut candy bar; Balance: those who fell in love with Marcallan all those years back because of its faultlessly silky sherry influence are about to have their hears won again. It’ll be love at first flight… © Tasting Notes from Jim Murray's 2015 Whisky Bible. |
