Released in October 2011, this is the 5th special limited addition to be launched as part of the Glen Garioch range and follows 1978, 1990, 1991 and 1994 vintages. Bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, just 250 cases were released for the UK, French, Durch, U.S. and Canadian markets.

Clear, golden amber.
Pungent, buttery pastry, spice, light peat smoke and dried woody grass with cooked pear, dried fruit and ground cumin dusted leather aromas. More spice and buttery pastry with water.
Peat smoke wafts around the dry woody spicy palate. Fruit notes are masked by the wood and spice. A splash of water re-balances exposing pear and banana fruit and vanilla.
Dry, lightly smoky woody yet fruity with wonderfully elegant spice.
