Glen Garioch Gleann Mor Rare Find Single Cask #108 Whisky 16 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a subtle ruby glow.

Nose

Wine-kissed red fruits—plum, cherry, blackberry—rise from the glass, mingled with spice from the Ribera Del Duero cask: cinnamon, clove, vanilla. Underneath, orange zest and citrus peel lift the aroma, while toasted oak, cacao, and a touch of leather lend a polished, sumptuous depth with a whisper of warm smoke.

Palate

Rich and velvet on the palate, dark cherry, blackberry and plum mingle with cocoa, espresso and a kiss of vanilla from the oak. The Ribera Del Duero red-wine finish adds a plush fruit lift, yielding polished tannins, a hint of spice, and a long, warming finish that echoes red-fruited depth and toasted oak.

Finish

Long and opulent, the finish coats the palate with ripe red-berry and plum, evolving into dark chocolate and toasted oak. Silk-like tannins from the Ribera del Duero cask mingle with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—leaving a lingering, refined glow of fruit and spice.
