nice fine notes, water would destroy mmh, I like them indeed

Nose

a touch of black radish juice, nutty, with herbs, woodruff
Cherries in salted water, mmh that is pretty salty and spicy
this is fruit in the background and the salt note in the foreground
a little different than usual
a bit like saltwater inhalation
the nose is very beautiful ... has character and yet is harmonious
the longer he stands the more comes fruit and nut

Taste

a smooth start and a wow in the mouth
nutty and herbal nice mixture
a very smooth mouthfeel with a great chilli catch in the mouth
bright fruits, apricots

megabreit wrote: In the mouth really a great performance, alcohol not superficial, soft and supple chocolate, nuts and fruit lay around the tongue, the whole thing then with hot beeswax

a very independent exciting character
not soft washed and not mainstream

Finish

very nutty
some chocolate
always the herbs ... spicy and yet light
no weight
Green tea
Nashi pear and baked apple juice
Striking but not bitter
Smooth woodruff sticks to the palate

Enthusiasm Nose 4/5 but in fact, 3/5 Mouth 3/5 Final 2/5 Whisky n ° 1625

Nose

Pot pourri, hazelnuts. Elegant and balanced. Ripe plums. Evoke something fat. Very interesting ! With the opening, it is somewhat trivial on the toffee.

Taste

Attack rather on honey, the end of mouth is rather, she, bitter. The spices are well dosed in hyphen, with sherry a little "moldy".

Finish

Malt, but you lose your balance, tending towards a bitterness that is too strong and bad.

A good Glen Garioch, nice sherry / bourbon and sweet / sour ratios.

Nose

Sherry, vanilla, honey, caramel, apple cider, peach, orange peel and spicy oak.

Taste

Powerful. Honey, orange, peach, gooseberry. Spicy oak. Touch of sulfuric smoke and ash.

Finish

Medium length, spicy, ashy.

(Blind PWC of 21/10/17) Happy to have tasted it blind because I was leaving with a small priori on this whisky. Finally a daily tram well done in the tradition of what Glen Garioch does.

Nose

The nose is marked on the Sherry. There is butter, vanilla and caramel.

Taste

Light attack but it rises quickly in the mouth. There is still caramel, dried fruits, spices and a little herbaceous side.

Finish

A medium and classic finish on spices, oak and vanilla.

Nose: has similarities with the 12er - but seems more mature and more sherry stressed. Red fruits, toffee and honey, dried fruits, apricot dumplings, orange peel and sourdough bread. A really "rural" whisky. From the oak join some pepper and nutmeg. The alcohol is not optimally involved but hardly bothers. He rather brings in a fresh mint note.
No sherry bomb (there is the 15 Oloroso) but incredibly rich in flavors and I always have the picture of a richly set for the dinner table in a country house in the head when I smell it.
Taste: strong but also somehow buttery, a lot of malt and toffee, again red apples and honey, cereal with dried fruit and orange zest, the finish is then really spicy and Pfeffrig with clear oak and a touch of coffee. In the end, it lacks a bit of length and variety.
Very good whisky that could really be described as Scottish "country wine". They're on the right path with Glen Garioch. Only the price is a bit too ambitious.

Glen Garioch is known to make great sherry bombs, but sherry bourbon cask compilations are also excellent. In direct comparison to the 2nd Chapter of the Distillery Renaissance, we are on the even more fruity side, while the baking and oak flavors are less pronounced. The 2nd Chapter may be a bit rounder and fuller; the first chapter juicy-fresh.

Nose

The first nose of the Whiskynosingglas is characterized by very fine apricot fruit, oranges and a little warm crumb cake. The whole thing is backed by minty fresh, which is followed by a few bright grapes and green apples.

Taste

In the mouth, the Glen Garioch is very fruity, there are next to apricots and the oranges there and it immediately begins to spread a fine pepperiness. Now comes the Muscat trance.

Finish

The finale is medium to long, the fruits with the sharpness aromas are now complemented by the, for Glen Garioch so typical, oak notes. A very fine fruity-spicy, oak-enriched finish.

Very good, of course it is the price :)

Nose

Ripe tropical fruits, apricot marmalade, honey, light wax, cooling menthol, ginger, later woodiness.

Taste

Firstly, apricots, then the bloom of apricot, followed by a distinctive fruity sweetness of apricots and oranges, combined with an increase in malt, cocoa and later acidity of citrus. Enhancing pepper spice. Naturally, with this power, alcohol and alcohol are already present.

Finish

It dries fruit and strengthens the taste of malt and light bitterness combined with pronounced spiciness, and occasionally there appears a little lemon - long.
