Glen Grant 1957 GM First fill sherry butt 56.1% 700ml information

The Glen Grant 1957 GM First Fill Sherry Butt is a 64-year-old Speyside single malt whisky, distilled in 1957 and meticulously matured in a first-fill sherry butt. This extraordinary spirit was bottled in 2021 by the prestigious independent bottler, Gordon & MacPhail, as part of the esteemed Mr George Legacy series. Representing a true gem from the 1950s, this whisky introduces a delicate hint of vintage smoke and an intricate tapestry of flavors.

The whisky exudes a dense and potent character, heavily influenced by the wood's essence, bringing forward herbal notes of thyme, mint, and eucalyptus. These herbal undertones are enriched by chestnut honey, a subtle chocolate dryness, resins, and abundant pipe tobacco notes. Mid-palate, it explodes with flavors of sour cherries and prunes, accented by pink grapefruit and bergamot, as well as layers of liquorice, aniseed, and Chinese all-spice. A charred hint lingers, adding complexity.

On the palate, the whisky is distinctly Oloroso, with sweet and sour cherry and raspberry flavors blending seamlessly with orange marmalade, orange peels, and candied ginger. Elegant resinous notes, hints of pine forest, cigars, and polished cedar stand in the background, along with traces of brandy, cardamom, and cinnamon. A distant puff of smoke adds to the whisky’s depth.

In appearance, the whisky boasts a deep, rich amber hue. The nose initially presents a focused aroma filled with chocolate, ganache, gianduja, mocha, and macchiato. With the addition of water, it evolves to become even more chocolatey, revealing notes of tar, cigars, and a whisper of smoky 'whiskey' sauce, along with crushed pine needles.

The initial palate is thin and focused, featuring flavors of thin mints, maracuja coulis over chocolate fondant and prunes, pine resin, caraway, and cloves. Adding water brings out refreshing notes of oranges and pine, with a hint of fresher oak.

Overall, the Glen Grant 1957 GM First Fill Sherry Butt is a true masterpiece, offering a vibrant and complex flavor profile that is both heady and beautiful. It stands as a testament to the distillers' craftsmanship and the blenders' patience, making it a must-try for any whisky aficionado.
