I like a Sherry cask whisky and you can end up having to spend a lot for a decent one. This has everything for me. Spicy, a good burn at the back of the throat and then the sweet richness of the Sherry and Bourbon casks. Plus it’s a decent ABV
Complex, rich and delicious. Am no expert but of course I know what I like, this is now my first equal favourite along with Balvenie Doublewood, for a single malt under £50 (not that I often try many over £50). Of course, one needs some different tastes in the cupboard to complement and suit different moods (eg something peated; and something light-yet-subtle like Old Pulteney), as this is a pretty rich taste!
Stunning dram . I get a lovely slightly sweet , malty barley sugar flavour . Full bodied , smooth as silk and burstng with flavour. A great after dinner malt .Really bemefits from being bottled at 48% with no colouring or chill filtering .
This is a truly phenomenal whisky that is underappreciated. A truly great bang for your buck and more complex and unique than most whiskies on the market. Nose: apples, spices, almost a warm apple pie or gingerbread, vanilla with a little oak in the background Palate: Extremely smooth and creamy, chocolate, a little woody, Finish: long, smooth, fruit and honey with some spiced oak This whisky in some ways is a hit or miss. Someone has to really appreciate it as Glen Garioch has a flavor profile like no other distillery. Would absolutely recommend to whisky lovers looking to expand their profile as well as seasoned veterans.
This has been a fantastic find! Great quality, well balanced flavors, fruity and sweet, almost like a Gewurtz on the nose, and fruity between sips. Fantastic value, as the price here puts in competition with higher end local whiskeys. If you like the fruitiness, make the effort to track down the Canadian Lohin McKinnon, which kicks up this aspect to 11.
