Tasting Notes
This Girvan 14 Year Old 2007 from the Rare Cask Series by GreatDrams is a delightful marriage of single grain whisky and sherry cask influence. On the nose, it delights with notes of currant buns, icing, gentle oak spice, and a hint of dried orange peel. The palate is a delicious combination of buttery vanilla, liquorice, black pepper, and warm cinnamon rolls, with dried fruit flavors lingering throughout. The finish is a delightful blend of blackcurrant jam and brioche notes. This expression was initially matured in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask, imparting its character, before a 30-month finishing period in an ex-Oloroso sherry cask added a layer of richness and complexity. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky that showcases the harmonious interplay between the robust grain spirit and the sumptuous sherry influence.
