Glen Talloch Rare & Old

Glen Talloch Rare & Old Blended whisky offers a passable drinking experience, but it falls short when compared to other blended whiskies in its category. The aroma is rather generic, lacking any distinctive or captivating notes. There is a faint hint of peat and some light fruitiness, but overall, it lacks complexity and depth. On the palate, the whisky is smooth enough, but it lacks a unique character that would set it apart from other blended whiskies. The flavors are somewhat muted, and the taste profile lacks the richness and robustness one would expect from a "Rare & Old" blend. It fails to leave a lasting impression and doesn't evolve much throughout the sipping experience. The finish is disappointingly short and uneventful, leaving little to savor after each sip. This lack of complexity and depth in both taste and finish might leave enthusiasts and seasoned whisky drinkers wanting more from this expression. Considering its positioning as "Rare & Old," Glen Talloch falls short in living up to its promise. While it might be suitable for mixing or casual sipping, it lacks the finesse and character to be considered a stand-out option among other blended whiskies in its price range.

It's nice, for a blend. Weird to call a five-year old old though...
