Glen Garioch 12 Year Old 2011
Color Light gold
Nose Very clean but at the same time dusty and therefore somewhat old school nose on Granny Smith apples, blood orange, sour mats and kiwi. It's even a bit funky, as you'd expect from a good Glen Garioch
Palate You immediately notice that the alcohol is perfectly integrated, with beautiful notes of white fruit (apple, pear), complemented by fresh lime and even a hint of quince. The kiwi is also returning and has brought a touch of pink grapefruit. And nice and spicy too, without exaggerating. This is gentle on ginger and a pinch of white pepper, just enough to make it frolic on your tongue. Delicious!
Finish That spiciness can also be felt in the long aftertaste. Very satisfying!
