1980s Glen Garioch 12 year old 5cl

Let’s explore the Glen Garioch 12-year-old whisky. Here’s what reviewers have to say:

Whiskybase:

Description: A great representation of an older style of single malts, with its very subtle peat and bold, slightly challenging complexity. Without water, the malt quietly lingers on the palate for a long time. Adding a bit of water sweetens the nose and palate, making the notes more distinguishable.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A touch of sea salt, dried fruit (raisins, apricots, and pineapple), oak, malt, citrus peel, nutmeg, freshly cracked pepper, honeysuckle, vanilla, caramel, sweet cream, fresh strawberries, blackberries, and an earthy leaf-litter note.

Taste: Malt, sweet citrus, baking spices, oak, char, smoked dried fruit, smokey caramel, a touch of peat, ginger, and licorice.

Finish: Dark chocolate, smoked almonds, smoke-infused malt, a hint of smoked preserved meat and dried fruits, a flash of basil, and oak tannins.

In summary, the Glen Garioch 12-year-old offers a delightful balance of flavors, including fruitiness, subtle peat, and complexity. If you appreciate older-style single malts, this one is worth exploring!
