Detailed Description
This 1965 Glen Mhor was awarded 90 points by Serge Valentin on Whiskyfun. Initially matured in a refill butt, it was finished in an oloroso-sherry cask for 88 months. This 50-year-old whisky has notes of menthol, spice and a whack of umami.
Glen Mhor 1965 50 Year Old Rare Reserve Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Delightful aroma.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: A very long finish.
