Glenugie Rarest of the Rare Duncan Taylor 1981 51.5% Cask # 5158

Glen – 83

This is a tasty and flavorful dram from Duncan Taylor’s high end Rarest of the Rare (ROR) series. As with all of the ROR, this is a now closed distillery and has become increasingly difficult to find.  A nice rich and complex nose greeted us, and we new instantly that we were in for a good night of tasting. Malt, sherry and vanilla are the most pronounced in the nose and give way to a thick body and warming long finish that starts out sharp and smoothes out nicely. The dram did come off a little unbalanced with the nose not following through to the finish, but that was my only complaint.

Nose: Malty, sherry, vanilla, honey, musk, earthy
Body: Thick
Finish Warming and long, some bite, malt, smoothes out.

A flavorful and easy drinking dram.
