Glen Garioch 1971 (The Whisky Exchange)

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: The Whisky Exchange

ABV: 43.9%

Score: 92 Points

This vintage Glen Garioch has a good smoky nose with malty touches and notes of pipe tobacco and nutmeg. The taste is creamy and rich with a good balance of smoke and spiciness and a touch of caramel leading into the finish. The finish is sweet and lingering with a touch of cinnamon balancing the caramel.
