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")?!

Little raw but still good NAS

I usually want to taste whisky that divide people's opinions. This is one of those. So you know it's interesting... On the nose: Pineapple, orange and fruit, with hints of engine oil On the palate : hint of chocolate, herbs, orange and dessert. All and all not bad. One of those that need quite a lot of oxygen to bring the harshness down. A solid NAS whisky

Three out of five stars!

In my view, three stars out of five for this Glengarioch Founder's Reserve. Good at 48% abv., although rather imaginative and fanciful description offered by the Distillery via Master of Malt.

A highland fling of a thing.

For the money. It’s a tough act to follow. Yes, it’s rough, or at least lacking polish, BUT, what it lacks in finesse and finish it makes up for in sheer ballsy bravado, flavour and its self belief. It’s never going to win a beauty pageant t but this is a solid, unpretentious, hot and biscuity dram. Well worth the money.

Nice

Not to bad for a none age statement whiskey. Worth it for the price.

Not for beginners and not for connoisseurs ..

Very rough . 48% alcohol very distinctive and not worked into the whisky . Immensely improved by (which I hate doing ) by a splash of water .
