This item is a rare vintage bottle of Glen Stag 12 Year Old Pure Malt Scotch whisky, popular in Japan in the 1990s. This pure malt (now known as a blended malt) is made using 100% malt whisky, a luxurious blend of Highland and Islay single malts, crafted by independent Edinburgh bottler Glen Talla Limited. It retains the rich, full-bodied flavor characteristic of the "special cru" era of the 1980s, setting it apart from current blends (malt + grain) with a depth that is impossible to replicate today.
The aroma is dominated by a rich malty flavor, testament to its 12 years of aging, and a rich sweetness reminiscent of ripe apricots. Of particular note is the "fresh yet elegant fruitiness"** that only the finest whiskeys of that time possess. When poured into a glass, the refreshing aroma of green apples and berries emerges, gradually evolving into a floral aroma as it comes into contact with the air, allowing you to enjoy the luxurious evolution that only an old bottle can offer. The peat aroma derived from the Islay whiskey acts as a delicate spice that enhances the main flavor, adding complex color and depth to the blend.
The palate is surprisingly smooth, with the 43% alcohol content sublimated to a silky texture through years of bottle aging. The warm sweetness of honey and vanilla dominates, and from the middle onwards, the fresh fruitiness of freshly peeled Kyoho grapes spreads throughout the mouth. Compared to the bottles from the 1980s, this one stands out for its refined balance, with a clear finish free of any impurities, a testament to the master blender's outstanding skills at the time.
The finish is extremely long, with a rich, lingering aftertaste reminiscent of a pleasant malty flavor and acacia honey. The aroma of ripe fruit lingers in the glass even after the whiskey is drained, making it truly a masterpiece. This bottle combines an elegant, floral aftertaste** with a classic sense of maturity that cannot be found in modern whiskeys, and is sure to become a must-have collection piece for any enthusiast, conveying the aftertaste of Scotch's golden age.
