GLASGOW DISTILLERY CONSTANTIA WINE CASK
This five year old release is Glasgow Distillery's first use of Constantia sweet dessert wine casks from South Africa, a perfect showcase of their unpeated double distilled single malt whisky. Initially matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks, this release has been finished for one year and ten months in Constantia wine barriques and delivers notes of fresh apricot, peach, pink grapefruit, clementine, rich manuka honey, and dark chocolate.
Bottled at a cask strength of 56.6%, this is a limited release of only 980 bottles.

Nose
Notes of fresh apricot, ripe peach, juicy clementine and rich vanilla lead to lightly floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle.
Palate
The palate is a juicy explosion of fresh fruit balanced against floral and rich manuka honey. Notes of sweet pink grapefruit and ripe peach meet apricot compote and vanilla ice cream with a sweet almond nuttiness.
Finish
The finish is long and fruity with lasting notes of light honeyed sweetness, a touch of fresh ginger, and hints of 80% cacao dark chocolate.
