Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Glenglassaugh 1973 (40%, Family Silver, Bottled +/- 1999, 70cl) - 86 points
Anyway, when I opened it in February to get a first impression I absolutely loved it. Glenglassaugh wasn't listed on the matrix yet, so I immediately siphoned off five 125ml samples to send to some of the other malt maniacs. When I did, I noticed this malt has 'heavy legs' - a symptom of old age. Let's see if this is a good thing...
Nose: Distinguished. Sherried, fruity and a little sweet. Slightly herbal. Spicy. Butter? A whiff of smoke. Lots and lots of interesting stuff going on in the background. Amazing. Wow! Much like a kaleidoscope, the nose keeps changing and changing. Lemon drops!
Taste: Ooof... Sherry and smoke - a possibly lethal combination... (Bowmore Darkest flashback) The Glenglassaugh pulls it off, though. Soft an sweet. The finish lingers on and on and on. It reminded me a bit of the Glendronach 15yo Sherry Casks.
Score: 86 points , I'd say. The nose is among the best I ever encountered! Too bad the palate seems tired and uninspired - something I've found in more old malts. Analysis: The malt with the kaleidoscope nose. It seemed to 'peak' between 10-30 minutes.
