Glen Garioch 100 Years of The West Highland Line 1894-1994 Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep, rich amber with mahogany undertones and a coppery glow.

Nose

Aromas rise with sherry-soft fruit: fig, raisin and orange zest, layered with toasted almond and dark cocoa. Rich vanilla and honeyed oak weave through the malt, lightly spiced by cinnamon and clove, with a touch of leather. A luxurious, warm nose that evokes Christmas cake and refined maturity.

Palate

Silky and mid-weight on the palate, it opens with creamy vanilla and toffee that entwine with dark sherry fruit—raisin, fig and orange zest. Spices rise: cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, layered over subtle oak and cocoa. The finish is long and refined, with warming spice and a lingering trace of chocolate.

Finish

Opulent and long, the finish layers dark cherry and fig from the sherry cask with chocolatey cocoa and toasted almond. Spices unfurl—cinnamon and white pepper—carried on rich oak, ending in a softly resinous sweetness that lingers with warmth and grace.
