80- Nose
- Sun-scorched grass. A hint of peat. Fragrant.
- Palate
- Surprisingly fat. Sweet, clean, cereal grain maltiness. Slightly syrupy. Developing minty notes. Peppermint patties.
- Finish
- Strong. Some phenol. Slight bitterness.
- Comment
- A reminder that a distillery with its own maltings gains a layer of character. So long as the maltings is working.
Dave Broom
67- Nose
- Minty! Quite smoky with clean malt, an earthy aroma. An intense heather/lavender lift. This highly-scented smoke intensifies with water. And time.
- Palate
- The perfumed smoke emerges fairly quickly. It's sweet but there's something unbalanced about it.
- Finish
- Oak grips slightly.
- Comment
- Did someone throw a bunch of dried lavender in the kiln? There's something about this intense fragrance in old Glen Gariochs which spoils the balance for me.
