Glen Garioch Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #8029 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
In stock
Founded in 1797, Glen Garioch Distillery is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, sitting just outside the town of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire's fertile barley plains. After a period of closure, it was revived in the 1970s. Production has since remained constant.
A brooding dram, opening with warm walnut skins, buttered raisin loaf, and a seam of dark chocolate. A flicker of struck match drifts through but stays well-behaved, before a palate which deepens into richer cocoa, raisins steeped in syrup, and a thread of Madagascan vanilla. The finish lingers with roasted nuts and bittersweet chocolate, tapering off into a satisfying glow.
