    Glen Garioch 1797 Founder's Reserve

    1797 Founder's Reserve is the new offering from Glen Garioch (pronounced Glen 'Geery').

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Lively, oily, slightly peppery malt. Some creamy Danish Blue balanced by hints of citrus including lime and grapefruit squash.

    Palate

    Chocolate lime sweets and brandy butter. With water there's more allspice, dessert wine, barley malt and cured ham.

    Finish

    Oak, some subtle smoke, green apple skin and more chocolate limes.

    Overall

    A character-filled no age-statement release named in celebration of Glen Garioch's co-founders the Manson Brothers. But wait... wouldn't that make it either "Founders' Reserve" (or "Founders Reserve")?!

    Thoroughly enjoyable single malt.

    Great fruity notes and deep flavour... age irrelevant.

    Good

    I hadn’t heard of this before but I got a bottle of it a year ago as a gift and just tried it last week and was impressed. The smell was not very appealing at first but I let it breathe a bit and added a drop of water or two and dipped it...very good. Had hints of spice, vanilla and some dried fruit.

    Not subtle,strong taste

    Not very subtle; I guess you have to be in the mood for a strong shot. After knowing what to expect , I only drink it when I feel like having something that really kicks in. Compare it with a "stronger cigarette" then average, its ok, but you just have to be in the mood for it; at least I do.

    Good all round whisky

    A fine after dinner whisky, very subtle and smooth.

    Excellent

    This stuff isn't easy to find here in California but I found it and I'm glad I did. I'm a big fan of these lightly sherried highlands and this is a really good one. You get the typical burning hay and honey flavor of a highland with a longer fruity/cinnamon finish from the sherry cask influence.Also for 48% actually very smooth and drinkable this is definitely a welcome addition to my whisky cabinet.
