Glenglassaugh Octave 'Classic' Batch 2, carefully crafted by Master Blender, Rachel Barrie, from a combination of Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez and Amontillado sherry cask octaves. Maturing whisky in a smaller octave casks (65 litres) allows more contact with the wood, developing and ageing the whisky a lot quicker.
Tasting Notes
Glenglassaugh Octave Classic - Batch 2 - Producer Notes
Colour: Deep amber with a burnished copper hue.
Nose: Breathe in candied pear, mango panacotta and strawberry sherbet on a base of spiced coffee, freshly sawn wood and peanut candy crunch.
Palate: Sip smooth velvet waves of jellied sweets and chocolate caramel followed by a burst of mango, pineapple cubes and cedar wood.
Finish: Savour the intriguingly long finish of citrus spiced coffee, aniseed and peanut brittle.
