Review #207 |
This
distillery bottling from Glen Garioch’s Vintage series comes from North
American oak barrels. After I had a lid on my glass for a couple of minutes,
the vanilla sweetness is overwhelming in the smell. If you just keep your
distance to the glass the high ABV is no problem and you just get all the good
flavors. Marzipan, nuts, light oak and some peat or hay in the end.
It got this
farmer character to the taste, yet creamy. Very lovely. Barley, grass, hay and
vanilla. The finish is just long and warm. Some spices appear. The black pepper
accompanies the farmer character great.
This is
good Glen Garioch indeed, and for the price, it is brilliant! Finish this off
by giving it some water! Then you got a more calm and much more mellow dram to
finish the evening! Perfect nightcap! I will rate this 88/100 (21/22/23/22).
