Glen Garioch 1978

This item is archived.

This cask strength bottling of Glen Garioch is an unusual older vintage, 30 years of age, with a touch of peat. Very limited, only 18 bottles have come to Alberta all of them exclusive to KWM.

My Tasting Note: Nose: very creamy and round with ripe apricots, peaches and cream with coal smoke and cherries; mandarin oranges, pear drops and honey dew melon; there is a grassy element to the whisky along with soft oily floral notes and pear drops; Palate: very creamy, more peaches and cream and soft clean smoke; powdered ginger, cinnamon sticks and moist toffee cake and maple syrup; Candy Coal, cooked almonds and clove with fruit flan and chocolate covered espresso beans; pear drops, pan seared apples and caramelized honey; Finish: dry-sweet spices and more Candy Coal with creamy oak and gentle smoke; the finish is long creamy and satisfying.
