A D Rattray, Glen Grant 1988 30 Year Old
RRP £325
This is another Glen Grant to tickle the taste buds. It isn’t usual to taste a trio of old Glen Grants and for all of them to make the final cut, but in their different ways these whiskies all deserve their listing. This particular one, also matured in sherry, is a little higher in alcohol. It still has the lovely Christmas cake and dried fruit flavours of the other 30 year old, and also has a delicacy that tempers the spice and brings in some nuttier notes. It’s not as dark as the previous 30 year old, but is no less complex and unctuous.
