Glen Garioch
Scotland
Single Malt
Released in 2010, Glen Garioch's new 12 year old is matured in both bourbon and sherry casks, and it has loads of character, as well as being bottled at the sensible strength of 48%...

I discovered this beauty about 3 years ago and it’s still as amazing as it was then. It takes about. 1/3 of the bottle down and letting it sit at that level for a month or two to let the real surprises come out, and a complexity that just keeps on giving. Sweet, oaky, and a little bit of créme brulee on the nose and finish. A step below cloyingly sweet I can sip this with a dash of water alone or as a precursor to some peated Islay’s on a flight night. Slainthé!
Nice and simple , this stuff is great balananced full bodied glass !
I'm new to whisky, but happy with this bottle. The 48% makes it a bit harsh, but its smooth otherwise. Smells of jammy fruits and a touch of caramel. I usually drink scotch straight, but I found this one was improved by a few drops of water. Not the best value at it's price of ~$70 CAD though.
Nose with dark berries, mint and a heavenly sherry fog, but it's also earthiness there. The taste is a full delivery of a taste wave of a kind of metallic caramel and toasted oak, and i love oakiness. Dried fruit, hint of plums, sherry, spice. Quite long and sweet finish with a salty feeling on the lips. 48% is a respectable level, but you can drink it neat or with a little spoon of water. Overall a sweet and well balanced whisky, and it has to be one of the very best 12 year old whiskies.
I've had this whisky several times and it has never been a disappointment. It's a 12 year old, non-chillfiltered @ 48% - which is great - but it does have colouring added - which is not quite so good - but don't let that stop you trying this great whisky. Frankly, it should be better known and more popular but I suppose it does come from a Highland distillery that's a bit of the beaten whisky track. Even at 48%, it's smooth enough to drink without water but a drop does open it up a bit and lets the sweetness come through a bit more, combining well with the toasty oak and dried fruit flavours, with a finish that is long and satisfying.
