Glenglassaugh, 44 year old, 1960 vintage, 41.7%, $900
Very frail. Don’t add any water to this whisky, as its flavors seem to crumble. It’s a subtle whisky too—one has to tease the flavors out of it. But when you do, with some focus, you’ll find fragrant notes of dried spice, malty vanilla, citrus peal, and elegant floral notes. Surprisingly, the whisky is not overly dry and woody on the palate. The initial impression of this whisky is that it’s too tired and past its prime. With continued exploration and patience, its subtle pleasures emerge.
