Gordon & MacPhail Glen Grant Highland Malt Scotch, distilled 1965, bottled 2004 (39 yr), 40% abv: Pale caramel color..aroma of slight smoke and a creme caramel... honey/honeysuckle initially then a candied apple with burnt caramel with a hint of soft charred wood... flavors of pear, apple and walnuts come and go..not much peat character... very smooth and almost soft finish... worth the wait!!
