Dewar Rattray Glen Garioch
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.50%
7 A quirky little number. Well worth a look.

Duncan Taylor Glen Garioch 1988, 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.10%
8 Very sweet but the classic heather honey is balanced by the gently peaty, smoky dryness that has vanished from most Highland malts.

Glen Garioch 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 I have always enjoyed Glen Garioch as one of the few peaty whiskies still made in the Highlands. I hope this peaty character does not totally vanish.

Glen Garioch 12 Years Old, National Trust for Scotland bottling
Single Malt - Scotland - 47.40%
7 Approachable and enjoyable, but a little mild-mannered for me. Bring back the peat…please!

Glen Garioch 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Less robust, more rounded. It is one of those choices that depends on the mood.

Glen Garioch 1968, 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.30%
8 With its chestnut colour and highly distinctive flavours, this is a wonderfully wintery whisky.

Glen Garioch 1971
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.30%
7 The nose is more appealing than the palate. Not much complexity for such an old whisky. Pleasant though.

Glen Garioch 1979, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.10%
8 Some Glen Garioch are sometimes dismissed on account of their 'tartan and stag' packaging, but this is a serious whisky and deserves to be treated as such.

Glen Garioch 1985, 16 Years Old, Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.90%
7 I have always had a quiet fancy for this malt. It has a lot character: demonstrated here in the way it stands up to such heavy sherry.

Glen Garioch 1986
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.40%
7 A big, robust whisky from the days when Glen Garioch made its own peated malt. I love the idea of a smoky whisky from the edge of Speyside, but I find this slightly astringent.

Glen Garioch 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 A very sophisticated bottling. Perfect after a fine dinner.

Glen Garioch 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 A reminder that a distillery with its own maltings gains a layer of character. So long as the maltings is working.

Glen Garioch 25 Years Old, 1986
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.60%
8 More well-chosen wood.

Glen Garioch 8 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 I love the peaty, burnt notes notes in this robustly malty whisky.

MWBH Glen Garioch 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.30%
7 A refreshing young whisky that would make a great aperitif when neat, or mixed in a classic Manhattan.

Old & Rare Platinum Glen Garioch 35 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00%
8 This has lasted superbly for its age, proof that Glen Garioch is a seriously impressive malt, one that improves with lengthy maturation.

Old Masters Glen Garioch 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.90%
8 A rich aromatic profile and a soft texture give that whisky a sensuous feel. The perfect afterdinner dram to enjoy a moment of calm and of solitude maybe…

Old Masters Glen Garioch 1988, 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.90%
7 A big warming dram whose generosity of flavour comes as a relief after a couple of meanies.

Signatory Glen Garioch 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 The cask was too tired to give roundness to that elegantly grassy malt. Alcohol needs to be tamed by water but still…
