    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")?!

    Ridiculously harsh

    Quite nice example of generic Highland flavour, marred by a ridiculous level of young alcohol burn.

    Ridiculously harsh

    Quite nice and generic straight down-the-line Highland flavour, marred by an absurd level of young alcohol burn.

    Go for it

    Sorry everybody. I just never can find words for what I taste other than " it tastes like whisky " - this one like a very good one. Try the 12 year old which is even better.

    Sweet, but harsh.

    Wonderful sweet flavors, but not an easy drinker. It’s harsh, not smooth. But if you are prepared for the bite, the flavors are great.

    Move over Glenlivet Founders Reserve... here comes the Garioch!

    Sweet and malty. Barley notes and very pleasant nose. One of the best "Founders Reserves" out there. Of course the older ones are richer and more complex. But if one wants to get to know a very "malty" Single Malt, this is the one to start. (of coures I do miss the old peat smoke tough).
