Released October 2011 for The Whisky Exchange, this 1971 Glen Garioch was distilled in 1971, when the distillery still operated its own maltings, and consequently is peaty – now not typical for Glen Garioch.
Bottled 26th February 2011 from an American oak ex-bourbon cask No. 2038 without chill filtration. Just 194 bottles were filled.
Sampled on 02/10/2012
Clear, mid golden.
Pungently peaty nose with hints of butter, walnut shells and white fruit.
Slightly sweet, earthy vegetal peaty palate with light salyness and orchard fruits.
Lingering vegetal peat with light white pepper spice.
