Esben, hvis du har gået og luret på Glen Grant 59 års, så er det vist for sent.
Der var kun 48 flasker af denne Maison du Whisky eksklusivaftapning og jeg fik åbenbart sidste flaske.
Den var i hvert fald væk fra hjemmesiden www.whisky.fr dagen efter at jeg bestilte.

Glen Grant 60 yo 1952/2012 'Diamond Jubilee' (42.3%, Gordon & MacPhail, 85 bottles) Four stars and a half This baby's got everything, elm, silver, crystal and Harris tweet. I must say I find it less kitsch - or bling - than other recent efforts by other whisky people who are currently trying to trade up. Colour: gold (much paler than the 1953). Nose: makes the 1953 winey in comparison, it's interesting that G&M chose one that was rather subtle and ‘un-raisiny'. No bomb on the nose, once again it's a delicate and elegant malt, rather on baked apples, bitter oranges, touches of cloves and candied ginger plus a little marzipan and orange blossom water. Also very ripe gooseberries and then discreet whiffs of humus and moss. Maybe old roses. Again, it's more lace than Harris Tweed! Mouth: the difference with the 1953 is striking. This is only a wee bit stronger in theory, but on the palate it's another world. The first thing that's also striking, just like with the 70yo Mortlach and Glenlivet, is the fact that the oak never takes control. It's there, of course, but it works just like some cinnamon on a plum pie, if you see what I mean. It's still plum! No biggish notes of anything in fact, rather a complex assortment of tiny flavours such as kumquats, caraway, liquorice, dates, maybe chestnuts, a little tobacco, mead, pecans"¦ Granted, the oak becomes a notch louder towards the finish (white pepper) but it's all under control. Finish: medium long, on mint and earl grey tea. More cinnamon in the aftertaste. Comments: quite a miracle. I believe these very old malts cannot compare to some 30 or even 40yo bottlings that are usually more full and satisfying (but there are exceptions, such as the fabulous 1952 by G&M for LMDW that we tried on January 19 "“ WF 92!), but this one is a good example of a very old one that kept a large part of its vibrancy, so to speak. Despite a rather low strength. So worth some big fat 88 points in my book, which is a lot in this context since I try to never take the whisky's ‘pedigree' into account when scoring it. By the way, a part of that pedigree is the price: £8,000. Royal! SGP:451 - 88 points.
