Nose: A soft alcohol nibble at my nose tip, but it does not draw blood. Chocolate, earthy vanilla, red berries. White pepper and cinnamon. Smoked paprika, chocolate dust, sawdust and almond paste.

Taste: Richy rich and full bodied. Chocolate flavoured with smoked paprika and mild chili. Earthy and sweet. Sugared rhubarb.

Finish: Medium to long finish. More chocolate - dark and white. Softly spicy. Hints of green tea. Sparkly and fresh herbal notes in the end.

Comment: Wow! Glenglassaugh is truly reborn!

Score: 89/100
