Gavin Smith
87- Nose
- Scented, violets and plums. Soft and gentle.
- Palate
- Heather and toffee, oaky notes well held in the background by a complex floral and honey combination.
- Finish
- The honey lingers well, and there are a few negative signs of age from the wood.
- Comment
- 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.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Exotic. Olde English marmalade, allspice, fresh grated nutmeg (spiced rum?). With water there's macaroon bars and afterdinner mints.
- Palate
- Perfumed attack, then the aromatics become slightly artificial and essence like. Mint and lavender again. Essential oil.
- Finish
- Perfumed. Some smoke.
- Comment
- A great nose, but let down on the palate.
