1972 500 ml Glen Grant SMWS 9.30 99.05 Proof 28 Year Old Speyside Scottish Malt Whisky Society

Nose: Another classic monster but with more exuberance and a bigger fruitiness. Loads of prunes, fruitcake, sangria, big notes of dried figs, orange cake, strawberry jam... And a little smoke, a little gunpowder and a little mint. Good balance.

Mouth: Just like on the nose, the attack is very fruity (all kinds of dried fruits and a few overripe ones). Big figs again. Actually, it’s amazing how this one tastes exactly like dried figs!

Finish: Long, fig-like, with just a little more spices.
