Whisky Sponge Edition No.65A is a 30 year old Glen Garioch 1991 bottled at natural cask strength of 41.4%.

We don't normally like port influence in our whiskies, but this was an altogether different proposition. Matured for its initial 10 years in a refill hogshead, this whisky was then transferred to a 1st fill port barrique for a further 20 years of maturation - thus making it well and truly a proper double maturation.

The robust Glen Garioch malt pairs very well with a rich, active, sticky sweet, unctuous and slightly tart port cask. The result is a mature, dark and luscious old single malt, at a naturally quaffable drinking strength and displaying many of the characteristics found in older style sherried malts with a lot of dark sticky fruit, chocolate and rancio qualities.

A delicious and very silly whisky that should probably be enjoyed while wearing extremely comfortable slippers within a radius of no more than 10 meters of a modest log fire.
