One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland – and its most easterly – Glen Garioch (pronounced Geery in the ancient Doric dialect still spoken in these parts) has been making its mighty malt in the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen in North East Scotland, ever since 1797. I'm not a fan of the heavy, smokey, peaty malts so this was a delicious find. ABV 57.8%. Even at 48%, it's smooth enough to drink without water but a drop does open it up a bit and lets the sweetness come through a bit more, combining well with the toasty oak and dried fruit flavours, with a finish that is long and satisfying.Bought a 1-liter bottle of this and am glad I did!

The perfect accompaniment to Parmigiano-Reggiano, our 12 Years Old binds the dryness of the cheese, which in return provides a platform for the malt’s sweet fruitiness and enhances its clean barley notes.The colour of sharp honey, on the nose heathery floral notes are balanced with the richness of poached pears and the sweetness of malted barley.Crème brûlée and sweet ripe banana at first, then comes a light oakiness with pear fruitiness, leading to a long smooth, creamy and fragrant finish. !Similar to an Oban with the smoke I find Oban is lacking. Sweet, oaky, and a little bit of créme brulee on the nose and finish. Glen Garioch is so smooth and has what I would call the real flavour and taste of what I expect of Scotch whisky.

Frankly, it should be better known and more popular but I suppose it does come from a Highland distillery that's a bit of the beaten whisky track.

Yet, it has tons of character and it warms like a good scotch whisky should. Lovely feel in the mouth, strong malt flavour, vanilla, honey, citrus, cinnamon and sherry.
