TASTING NOTES GLEN GARIOCH 1998/2016 ADELPHI

Nose

some distinctive features of the distillery emerge, such as black pepper and cooked meat. Spices evolve over time: white pepper, cinnamon and saffron. There is also a sweet fruity vein (dried apricots and sour cherries).

Palate

medium-high intensity. Spices dominate the first part. Black pepper and saffron are followed by fruity nuances of strawberry, black cherry and cherry. The spicyness is constantly increasing.

Finale

of long persistence. Spices, red fruit and black pepper are perceptible. A certain astringency can also be perceived due to the cask.

Overall, the cask seems to have given some dryness to a rather determined spirit. The aromatic palette is however ample, interesting and well blended.

Rating: 86
