Glen Garioch 12 Year Old / 48% / 70cl
Built in 1797 amongst the fertile barley fields of the Garioch valley in the eastern Highlands, Glen Garioch is Scotland's most easterly distillery and one of its very oldest. Originally a peated malt, Glen Garioch is now unpeated but the signature crisp cereal characteristic of the spirit is present in most expressions.
This 12-Year-Old is a hidden gem, full of character with notes of wild heather, honey and crème brulee. Un-chi filtered, no added coloured and bottled at 48%, every whisky enthusiast should get to know Glen Garioch.
Nose: Toffee and caramel chews with hints of toasted walnuts and a little soft sweet vanilla shortbread.
Palate: Rich with hints of banana bread, crisp wafers with toffee sauce, some golden honey and a rich sweet finish, fresh baked fruit loaf and a dash of demerara sugar coated apple pie with cream.
