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%...
Like this one alot. Come Friday, I'll likely get another or two...
A perfect marriage between bourbon and whiskey..
This is a very good, well balanced whisky. Lovely feel in the mouth, strong malt flavour, vanilla, honey, citrus, cinnamon and sherry. I agree with most of the other reviewers that it represents good value but if you're going to award 5* at this level, what are you going to give a really good whisky?
Extremely good whisky. Non chill filtered and bottled at 48%. No muddled or overpowering flavours, just rich, clean barley & honey notes. Smooth & creamy. Very mild sweetness from the bourbon & sherry, perfect for my liking. Needs just a touch of cold water to tame the 48% strength. This is a down-to-earth whisky with well defined flavours. Outstanding.
Among the best 12 year old you can buy.
