Not a distillery that I've tried that often, but this is a decent old fashioned style whisky. They sherry cask seems to work well with the spirit - well worth trying a dram or two.

| Нос | 85 | There is a nice meaty note on the nose with the remnants of a struck match, a hint of nuttiness too. |
| Вкус | 86 | The mouthfeel is pleasant, just the right side of being thin - the cooked meat is present on the palate with a touch of struck matches - a gentle heat at the death with the tongue being coated. |
| Финиш | 85 | Medium finish - the alcohol provides a gentle heat which lasts for a while, together with a hint of toasted almonds. |
It does not happen too often that the nose is inferior to the taste. But this whisky is a good example of such situation. Generally this Glen Garioch lacks some balance, although the distillate shows its class, especially in the aftertaste.

| Нос | 84 | some sulphur, cacao, sigar, earthy notes. Not the most intense nose with a hint of smoke. |
| Вкус | 86 | light syrupy sweetness, caramel, orange and mandarine. In the second sip wood spice, ginger and black tea. |
| Финиш | 87 | rather long with baking spices, dark chocolate, tart oak, marzipane and coffee notes. Earthy and sulphur notes present as well. |

The palate falls a bit flat, which is a shame.
Very mild, no noticeable age (no oak), almost like wine. Perfect first whisky in a tasting / summer whisky...

A fantastic dram for the Christmas season. I get plums and a hint of cinnamon on the nose. On the first sip, a wonderful sweetness on the palate. Hints of nuts and the cinnamon note transition into a subtle spiciness. Delicious.

Ugh... what a shame. If the rest of the whisky had done the same as the nose, this whisky would have easily earned 88 points. Unfortunately, it's now being penalized...

Sherry, coast, and a touch of wax. Not bad, but the cask has done its work; the distillate is barely recognizable anymore.
