Glen Garioch 15 Year Old The Renaissance 1st Chapter

Nose

Sweet and malty, with gentle woody spice. Sour lemon peel sits behind the sweetness, with toffee and hazelnuts.

Palate

Oily and sweet, with more nuts and toffee, as well as buttered brown toast. A little bit of tongue drying tannin, but still juicy, with baked apple and vanilla cream.

Finish

Butter toffee, hazelnuts and their skins, crisp apple and a touch of candied orange peel.

Comment

Very much on message: a whisky that shows off what Glen Garioch are all about. It's rich and malty with some solid spice and a pleasantly oily mouthfeel.

Showcasing Glen Garioch’s deliciously different house style following its reawakening in 1997, this first chapter in a four-part story reveals the spirit’s character at 15 years old – rich and full-bodied with fruit and spice.

Rich Highland toffee, creamy butterscotch, chocolate ginger biscuits and tangy citrus peel lead to honey-glazed baked apricots and cinnamon-spiced orange interlaced with smooth malted caramel and barley sugar, with a ginger-marmalade-on-warm-buttered-granary-toast finish.
