Hunter Laing Sovereign / 36 Year Old Strathclyde Single Grain Whisky

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…

Age:    Strength: 44.3%.
Summary: Glenglassaugh Distillery was founded in 1875 by James Moir, a local general store owner. Elgin architects Reid and Melvin designed the distillery and William Sellar of Keith was recruited to plan out the plant.
The initial annual production of the distillery was 100,000 gallons.Robertson and Baxter were major customers who supplied spirit to Teacher's for blending and in 1892 purchased the distillery for £10000, who then sold it to Highland Distillers for a £5000 profit.
Highland Distillers rebuilt the distillery in 1960, it was later mothballed in 1986. In 2008 the distillery was purchased by The Scaent Group and re-opened.
Cask Size and Type: Sherry Hogshead.
Finish: Sherry Finish.
Appearance: Rich autumn gold.
Nose: Long and luxurious. Heady red candy apples balance with a delicate spiced orange; all softening to a distant pineapple juice.
Palate: Crisp oak spices soften to reveal elegant waves of fresh green apple and wisps of ripe banana. Delicate of hints of passion fruit, cedar wood and lime zest bring a fantastic depth to the long finish.
