Exploring the Delightful Glasgow 1770 Tokaji Cask Finish Batch No. 2
This Glasgow 1770 Tokaji Cask Finish Batch No. 2 presents a unique blend of unpeated and peated whiskies, showcasing the distillery's expertise in spirit and wood management. Aged for six years, this release combines the flavors of three unpeated Cognac casks with two peated casks, resulting in a 'lightly peated' whisky with a characteristically fruity profile.
Initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, this whisky was then finished for 3 years and 4 months in exceptional Cognac casks. The final product offers a delightful medley of sweet smoke, rich honey, poached pear, dried apple, and vanilla ice cream notes.
Part of the Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series, this limited-edition release exemplifies the distillery's dedication to experimentation with different whisky styles and cask maturations. By marrying five casks - two peated and three unpeated - this Cognac Cask Finish bottling delivers a complex yet harmonious blend of flavors.
With a bottling strength of 58% ABV and only 2250 bottles available, this whisky is a must-have for enthusiasts looking to explore the intersection of Scottish and French distillation traditions. The marriage of bourbon and Cognac influences results in a nuanced dram with layers of honeycomb, manuka honey, dark fruit, and floral hints, making it a truly special addition to any whisky collection.
