Glen Garioch Single Cask Whisky 16 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Glowing amber-gold with copper-bronze undertones and a subtle mahogany edge.

Nose

Deep, sherry-kissed nose with dark fruit and nutty complexity. Prune, fig and raisin mingle with orange zest and toasted almond, while cocoa and coffee notes weave through carved oak. A whisper of spice, cinnamon and clove, adds warmth and elegance to the aroma.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this Glen Garioch unfurls a sherried tapestry of fig, raisin and date, braided with dark chocolate, espresso and toasted almond. Spices bloom, cinnamon and clove, beneath vanilla and oak. At 54.4% ABV it remains lush and warming, delivering a long, resinous finish with hints of tobacco and ripe fruit.

Finish

Long, warming finish of toasted oak and rich sherry, with dark fruit compote, cocoa and spice. Dried cherry lingers, a touch of orange zest, fading into a peppery, resinous echo that coats the palate.
