Tasting Notes
Deep amber in hue, the first scents are reminiscent of nutty muesli, with chocolate chips and steamed cream. Behind this a hint of Elastoplast, gradually becoming faintly smoky. Very spicy to taste at full strength, spritzich and warming; dark chocolate lingers in the after-taste. Water settles it down. The nose now gains a fruity dimension (dried orange peel?), but overall it remains dense and elusive. The taste is sweet to start, with ‘Angel Dust’ on the tongue, traces of coconut, and a medium-length, dryish finish.
Distillery Notes
Glen Garioch (pronounced "Geery"), is one of the oldest whisky distilleries in Scotland, dating back to 1785. It is operated by Morrison Bowmore Distillers, which is owned by the Japanese company, Suntory. The distillery was reopened in 1997. Glen Garioch is a small distillery, situated in the Aberdeenshire village of Old Meldrum. The distillery takes its name from the valley of Garioch.

Not sure about this. A little peaty, but makes it non distinct.
