Glen Garioch 15 Year Sherry Cask Matured

Nose: actually a bomb of sherry, sweet, raisins and candied fruit, cherries in alcohol. Palate: always sherry, caramel, spiced oak, coffee and cappuccino, alcohol very evident and perhaps a little too intrusive, it seems a little "blended". Medium-long finish, sweet caramel and coffee. Good, but not very good: alcohol too evident, even after letting it breathe a bit. Rating 3.75 _________________________________________________________________ Naso: effettivamente una bomba di sherry, dolce, uvetta e frutta candita, ciliegie sotto spirito. Palato: sempre sherry, caramello, quercia speziata, caffè e cappuccino, alcool ben evidente e forse un po’ troppo invadente, sembra poco “amalgamato”. Finale medio lungo, dolce al caramello e caffè. Buono, ma non buonissimo: alcool troppo evidente, anche dopo averlo lasciato respirare un po’. Voto 3,75
