Glen Grant 8 yo (70°proof, OB, 26 2/3 fl. Ozs., +/-1970) 
A much paler vatting this time, there were also darker ones in this famous square flat bottles. Colour: white wine. Nose: this stems from when Glen Grant was a fatter and bigger spirit. Fern, grape pips oil, coal smoke, ashes, grapefruits, fresh coriander, wort, farmyard, used tealeaves… Indeed, a fatter one! Mouth: excellent. Big lemony arrival, with some clear peat smoke, some peppermint, grapefruits, green gooseberries… Then a leafier smoke, fresh walnuts, a little olive oil, and always these lemons and grapefruits. Delisiously old-school. Finish: really long, with clear notes of Chartreuse and even more smoked grapefruits. Comments: absolutely adored this Chartreuse-y aftertaste. So much for a light apéritif…
SGP:463 - 89 points.
