80- Nose
- Forest floor. Rooty. Sappy. Brown sugar.
- Palate
- Lightly creamy. Nutty. Slightly bitter.
- Finish
- Robust. Smoky. A hint of ash.
- Comment
- 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.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Another with big cask influence – dunnage warehouse, varnish, black pepper, treacle, liquorice, dried fruits and smoke (smoked cheese?). A big boy.
- Palate
- Those big, rich, fruity, figgy, raisined flavours dominate, then comes a light perfumed note that just knocks the balance a bit.
- Finish
- Dry, smoky.
- Comment
- It has weight, it has style, but it just lacks balance.
