On the nose, it is very fragrant with a floral, fruity, mildew and woody side!
On the palate, it is the strong point, deluge of varied and well-differentiated scents, on the ripe fruit (blackcurrant, cooked raspberry), on the pronounced spices, on the chocolate, the leather a little dirty, on the sodden wood, and on dried fruits (also moldy, dusty) in return!
In the final, it dilutes a bit, it requires to return.
A dram of a very good quality, reminiscent somewhere of the old grains of old age with their lot of old leather, old wood and old dust!

Glen Garioch 1999/2013 Oloroso Sherry Casks Batch no. 30 56.3% WID: 45341 (Pure) The nose announces dream fabric: first dates, raisins and sulfur. I imagine a syrupy mouth feeling. In the background are oranges. The nose becomes drier and a bit dusty. Maybe some leather or tobacco.
Taste: The sweet and strong onset confirms my anticipation of a syrupy malt. Nose and taste blend well, although I do not taste sulfur.
It has a sweet and fruity finish , which is slightly peppery and woody. He takes my tongue for a very long time with nutmeg and does not get bitter, but the tongue dries out a bit.
All in all, great stuff that is pure drinkable pure. Without a direct comparison, I put it somewhere between Glendronach Revival and Deanston 20 Oloroso. Maybe some would say, a newfangled sherry whisky. For under 80 euros thanks to over 50% for me a good PLV. Thanks to CùBòcan for the sample. 88P +

I did not really care for this whisky. The palette provided a glimpse of rich, dark fruits before being smothered in a rather powerful, tongue coating sulfur. This leaves behind a strong and bitter residue. Disappointing.
