1770 Glasgow Distillery Constantia Wine Cask 0.70 ltr 56.6%

This five year old release is the first to be finished in Constantia sweet dessert wine casks from South Africa. It is a perfect showcase for the unpeated double distilled single malt whisky from the 1770 Glasgow Distillery. Originally matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks, this release is finished for one year and ten months in Constantia wine barriques, delivering notes of fresh apricot, peach, pink grapefruit, clementine, rich manuka honey and dark chocolate.

Tasting Note Whisky 1770 Glasgow Constantia Wine Cask

Nose: Notes of fresh apricot, ripe peach, juicy clementine and rich vanilla lead to light floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle.

Taste: The taste is a juicy explosion of fresh fruit balanced by the floral and rich manuka honey. Notes of sweet pink grapefruit and ripe peach blend with apricot compote and vanilla ice cream, with a sweet almond nutty undertone.

Finish: The finish is long and fruity with lingering notes of light honey sweetness, a hint of fresh ginger and a touch of dark chocolate (80% cocoa).
