Serge Valentin (92)

Colour: amber. Nose: typical of these rich 1972 Glen Grants from Duncan Taylor’s stable, all on figs, dates, beeswax, honey and apricot pie. Extremely appealing, no need to say more. With water: exactly like a beehive. Amazing. Superb. Fabulous. Entrancing. Right, let’s save our adjectives for later duties. Mouth (neat): extraordinarily candied. Fudge, baklavas, figs, honey… Oh well, I’m sure you see what I mean. Brilliant vintage at GG. With water: the only problem is that one could swallow litres of this. The very best mead ever made for Mount Olympus (I guess you know that Greek gods used to quaff mead when on the mount.) Finish: maybe not the longest ever but these meady/honeyed notes are fantabulous. Comments: not whisky but candy for grown men and women.
