Glenury Royal

At The Still Room we are very fortunate to stock the extremely rare, Glenury Royal 36 year old, limited edition single malt.

This, 'Clint Eastwood' of a whisky, mature yet full of verve, with no signs of old age is a gloriously mellow old Eastern Highland malt. The nose is complex and deep, the flavour; medium to full bodied, smooth, subtle and rounded.

Tasting Guide

Appearance:

Full amber gold.

Nose:

Vivacious for its age; complex, full and deep. Perfume and fruit dominate at first, led by vanilla and parma violets, black cherries and cooked apricots. Behind them lies a leathery, masculine note leading into burnt sugar, chocolate and mint. Water mellows all. Perfume and fruit give way now to wedding cake, treacle and soft leathery aromas.

Body:

Medium to full. Velvety and mouthfilling.

Palate:

Pleasantly soft at natural strength. Smoky to start, then a scented and deliciously layered fruitiness that reminds you of a sandalwood box containing sweet treats - Turkish delight, dried fruits, black plum. Water makes the mouthfeel more waxy, even teeth coating. The flavour is gloriously mellow and agreeably balanced.

Finish:

Polished leather and boat varnish, then more delicious caramelised fruit.
