Glen Garioch 1986
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 54.6%
Score: 92 Points
This is old-style Glen Garioch from the days when the distillery used peated malt, and the nose has a vegetative peatiness with wet wood, campfire smoke, honey, vanilla, and lemon peel. The taste is citrusy-tart with lemon and a kiss of campfire smoke with coconut and a touch of mango. The finish is fruity and long with a mild spiciness. Water adds more sweetness and fresh berries.
