Glen Breton Rare 10yo 40% Wintergreen, ginger beer, fermented apples, vanilla and butterscotch, the orchard fruits over ripe and over spiced. Light and honey fresh on the palate with ginger spice drying to a salty finish. A touch of water brings out lemon grass on the nose and palate. 79
Glen Breton Rare 20th Anniversary 1990 20yo Cask#13 167 Bottles 43% A softer, mellower version of the 10yo with a lot more butterscotch but the signature ginger spice is still thumping in the engine room with caramel and toffee filling out the dram. Intensely maple sweet and so delicious on the tongue, the ginger more evident and peppery on the mid palate, finishing short, salty and spicy. 84
