Murray McDavid Mission Series II

Name:

Glen Grant 1969
Distilled:  
Cask type:  

Tasting Note
 Colour: Gleaming golden yellow
Body: Delicious, full body with a sensational texture.
Nose/Palate: An abundance of tropical fruit, yellow apple, fresh lime zest, peach, cinnamon scented apples in Calvados, bouquets of highly scented flowers, tangerine marmalade, cotton fabric.  Quality oak has produced a flavourful well-crafted work of art.  Complex and classy.

Fantastic oaky heat hits the back palate.  The fruit is less apparent.  The old style whisky flavours hold the high ground.  Malt by the bucketful, sweet and savoury like a mini mashtun in the mouth.  After minutes the full, fruity waves are detected and bring a mouthful of juicy flavour to the taste sensation.  The quality is awesome and irresistible.  Throughout there is a cosy warm feeling on the palate.  What an achievement!
Finish:

Generous with the oak stretching on into the distance.  It is both potent and delicate.   Pure harmony in a glass.
