Glen Garioch Single Malts Of Scotland Director's Special Scotch Single Malt Whisky 31 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherried aroma of dark fruit and rich sweetness: fig, prune and raisin mingle with cocoa, toffee and vanilla. Layered with oak spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—plus a hint of leather and treacle. A delicate lift of citrus zest and faint maritime salt wafts through, giving a polished, age-worthy bouquet that hints at the whisky’s considerable strength.

Palate

Powerful and opulent, this 31-year Glen Garioch coats the palate with dark fruit—figs and raisins—braided with treacle and cocoa, lifted by orange zest. Rich oak and spice (cinnamon, clove) merge with a peppery warmth from the high ABV. The finish is long, showing balsamic sweetness, tobacco, and a refined dryness that hints at its cask strength heritage.

Finish

An expansive, lingering finish of rich oak and baking spice, intertwined with vanilla and toffee, a veil of dried citrus, and a peppery warmth that slowly fades to a silky, persistent glow.
