Colour: full gold.
Nose: this is different. Starts unusually grassy. Forest, moss, fern, fresh mushrooms (boletus). Even bigger notes of infused green tealeaves. Wet wood, ham, ‘old car’ (say, an MkII). Butter. Big notes of cooked artichokes after a while.
Mouth: same big start as the 1954 but with more complexity. Good oak, vanilla, more fruits (gooseberries, blackcurrants), tea, walnuts and mint. Lavender honey, liquorice.
Finish: long, less woody than the 1954 and better balanced no doubt. Comments: an excellent old Glen Grant where the oak is very ‘active’ but well integrated.
