I really enjoyed this whisky. For me it had notes of biscuits, defintely sherry, though not a sherry bomb. I like the heavily sherried whiskies ( e.g. GlenDronach and Aberlour), but with the Glen Garioch the sherry was more subtle and went well with the biscuit yeast taste. I would recommend sharing this with a friend, or somone you hope will become more than a friend. It is a flavourful relaxing dram, not overly complex and not boring. I guess that makes it baby bear.
