8 users have left 8 reviews for this whisky. Average rating is 86.06 points.

  1. Waykid scored this whisky 82 points Expert Senior

    This has it's pleasant sides but on the whole it is quite a thin and unbalanced.
    • Nose
      Strong and pleasant toffee, butter, apricot, summery flowermeadows, pear and some nailpolish remover. It is somewhat thin and fragile.
    • Taste
      Some Calvados, really tight, bitter and tarty. Mild, sweet flowers, some pears and apricot and some toffee. Not very much here: doesn't open up with water but not a real swimmer either.
    • Finish
      Malt and pear, quite thin, not very long.

    326) Glen Garioch 1994 (Bottled 2011), 17YO
    Old note back in 2016

    T- Buttery and slimy, despite high strength
    N- Light charred, toast bread and floral honey. Deep waves of pepper, clove and nutty filling the pack. Berries and winery.
    P- Trademark of high on spicy and polished liquid, along concentrated pungent citrus and brandied fruits. Creamy honey and more floral. Good strength and fine balance between muscle and softness.
    F- Long. Warming and elegant. Spiciness building up overtimes with thick honey and mints. Sensational.

    Colour: Gold.
    Nose: Very fresh and floral, intense, light, slightly peaty,
    rather round, with some vanilla and slightly creamy notes.
    Taste: Spicy to
    very spicy, oaky, floral, on ginger, vanilla, rather waxy, with some light
    bitter smoky and floral notes. Rather full bodied. The finish is medium, spicy,
    slightly bitter, smoky, with some grassy and buttery notes, on vanilla and some
    oaky notes. Diluted, there are some light violet notes.
    Impression: A good
    spicy and rather bold Glen Garioch, with pleasant floral and smoky notes. This
    is one of the last Glen Garioch distilled using lightly peated malt made on the
    distillery’s floor maltings.

    Serge
    Glen Garioch 1994/2011 (53.9%, OB, batch No 32, North American oak barrels) It’s quite ‘funny’ that Glen Garioch has been following Bowmore’s path, glorious 1960s, excellent early to mid 1970s, then a drop (sometimes abysmal), and then some great spirit again from around 1990 on. Let’s check this new baby… Colour: white wine. Nose: starts quite hot, a tad spirity and all on fresh garden fruit, mainly pears and apples as well as greengages. Also a little pineapple drop and then more wet rocks or gravel, with an obvious flinty side, and lastly, more vegetal notes (fern, grass, earth, humus) and vanilla. With water: gets farmier, more on grains, barnyard, leaven and then peat… We’re close to the barley here, and that’s very nice in this context. Nice nose. Mouth (neat): much in line with the nose, pear drops, liquorice, cough drops, berries… (cranberries). Pleasant bitterness (strong green tea, peat). With water: becomes more compact, nicely so, with rather more oranges and touches of cloves. It’s a big, full-bodied dram. Finish: medium long, maybe even a tad short despite the mint, the liquorice and the pepper that are in the aftertaste. Comments: quite perfect youngish Glen Garioch, fresh, full and moderately peaty. We’re probably not back to the fab level of the 1960s and early 1970s yet but that may be coming… SGP:453 - 85 points.
