Glen Garioch Vintage Small Batch #12 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany depths and a ruby-tinted glow, warm and inviting.

Nose

Intense sherried aroma of dark fig, plum and raisin, lifted by blackberry and cherry. Rich cocoa and espresso mingle with toasted oak, vanilla and caramel. Cinnamon and clove spice thread through, while subtle leather and tobacco notes complete the luxurious, mature nose.

Palate

Powerful and luxurious on the palate, this high‑proof Glen Garioch delivers a sherry‑driven arc of fig and raisin with orange marmalade, dark chocolate, and toffee. Rich malt coats the tongue, while toasted oak, cinnamon, and clove spice add structure. A peppery bite lingers into a long, warming finish, with hints of leather, cocoa nibs, and citrus zest.

Finish

Powerful, long finish with rich sherry lingering over dark fig and cherry, coaxed by toasted oak. Dried-fruit sweetness softens into orange zest and cocoa, while peppery spices and a warm, enduring glow from the 56.7% ABV prevail.
