Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve

(Vita Dulcis Advent Calendar 3/24) Nose: feels like a solid Highland whisky with some buttery florals and rich honey, smooth citrusy fruitiness with a distinct sweetness, has a bid of a sharp bite on the nose but that feels right in place, it is smooth and nice, not overly intense but more fresh and quite crisp Palate: quite hot with a rough attack at first, after a while it presents itself with lemon juice and soft chocolate, then it becomes increasingly nutty and ends off smooth like soft nougat-hazelnut-creme Finish: short and not very impressive, but again smooth and creamy The nose gets better later with fresh malt and dry grains. Verdict: it is a nice enjoyable whisky, nothing mind blowing and feels quite young but it doesnt really have any negative aspects except for the sharpness
