Grant's 18yo, Port Finish, 40%
Geplaatst: 05 Feb 2012, 13:41
(I'm writing in English since I share this with Grant's)
Glass: Libbey tasting glass. Thick tears are falling in slow legs
Color: Dark gold, slightly brown
Nose: Fruity, a little spicy (not peppery, but like different herbs); maybe "herbal" is more applicable, wood (tannins) and then there they are... raisins! That's of the ex-Port! There's some meaty (maggi in the Netherlands) in it too. I think I can say this is typically for ex-Sherry / Port. I like it!
Taste: Soft, smooth, a little 'dry', then Sherry (I wrote down, before I knew it was ex-Port). There is also some tinkeling of ginger.
Finish: Sherry (raisins, meaty), slightly bitter, dry-ing (tannins). It stays long.
I like this dram. It's different than the Grant's I tasted before (12yo, Ale Cask)
