Whisky Fassle Fine Single Grain 1964

Tasting Notes

90pts Serge at Whisky Fun

"From the Lowlands, and most possibly some Girvan, as owners William Grant usually don’t allow the indies to used their brand names. But pure speculations, eh… Colour: deep gold. Nose: very fresh, a tad varnishy, and of course rather vanilla-ed, you’d believe this was distilled only 15 years ago. Sweets, jellies, drops, and touches of tinned pineapples. Classic young… I mean, old grain whisky. Keeps unfolding rather on custard and butterscotch. Mouth: certainly not some very active wood. Bubblegum, wheat whisky, even sweet maize, and a blend of coconut liqueur and sweet light rum, Cuban style. A little icing sugar and lemon powder as well. Finish: medium, a tad liqueury, in a good way. Crème de menthe and mandarin and pineapple liqueurs, coconut cream… Comments: it’s amazing that some whisky that’s been kept in one cask for fifty-two years remained this fresh and fruity. In fact, I rather love it. I think we found a 90! SGP:740 - 90 points."
