Description
Glen Garioch distillery stands in the town of Oldmeldrum. The distillery stands in the valley named the 'granary of Aberdeenshire' famously producing the finest golden barley in all of Scotland.
This non-chill filtered 12 year old gains its distinctive Highland character from a classic marriage of bourbon and sherry casks. Fresh heather, poached pears and a hint of oak. The perfect accompaniment to Parmigiano-Reggiano, this 12 year 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.
Nose - 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.
Palate - 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.
