Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Clean, cereal-dominated nose: nutty wholemeal toast with some butter. In time a soft toffee note/apple sponge. Water crisps it up. Fresh and quite light.

Palate: Soft and mealy with pleasant light tangerine notes. Clean. Medium dry.

Finish: Light, clean. Floury.

Comment: An everyday, mid-weight malt.

Score: 7.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Flowery. Roses. Darjeeling tea. Peat.

Palate: Firm maltiness. Cake-like. Slightly honeyed.

Finish: Surge of spiciness. White pepper.

Comment: 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.
