Glen Garioch 12 Year

Riihivuoren Tuisku-mökki (Marco). Itse pidän reilusti enemmän Islayn savuviskeistä kuin muiden alueiden tuotoksista. Toki hyvin paljon vielä uusia tuotteita kokematta. Juotavaa toki tämäkin.

Non-chillfiltered and quite potent, this single malt smacks you upside the head to notice its character. A beautiful amber (not certain if colour is added), slender but slow legs. Shnoz: Grassy and fresh with a delayed ethanol kiss, faint heather. Buds: Dessert honeyed pears and flambéd peaches, big heathery and pungent maltiness, a tad creamy too. Coda: Lingering malt and heather with a dried fruit (fig?) pop. Fairly lasting I'd say. The 48% surely accentuates all the flavour you will perceive- which is much appreciated. This humble distillery with old roots that has changed hands several times stays true to their heritage and delivers an exceptional taste of what a Highland malt should evoke. It's scarce up in these parts so I snatch what I can and savour patiently til more would arrive!

Pas funky. Juste excellent. A consommer régulièrement 😋

Difficile de croire le rating sur Distiller. Très meh car il est fade et avec un solide burn d’alcool. Difficile de goûter ou sentir quoi que ce soit. Moyen du moyen. Anecdote: plus il respire, plus il est fort en alcool. 😬 Goûté chez M-A Pinel en septembre 2021.

Maritim und weich mit leichter Zitrusnote. Im Abgang entwickelt sich dann ein leichter angenehmer Rauch. Angenehm zu trinken.
