About the distillery: There has been a distillery on the site of this Eastern Highlands producer since 1785. Glen Garioch closed briefly between 1995 and 1997, so this bottle was from the old owners, who cultivated a more peaty taste than most highlands maltsters.
Tasting notes: Burnt sweet smell; medium length; mellow burnt syrup taste; very smooth, lacking in complexity; shallow finish, rich and flowery but lacking penetration.
You will like this if you like: A mellow islay whisky; a younger Macallan; Dalwinnie 15.
Rating: taster one, 76; taster two, 82; taster three, 79. Average: 79.
