Tasting Notes

Taking a sip of the Glen Garioch 11 Year Old 2010 - Benchmark is like diving into a tropical paradise. The nose greets you with a delightful blend of sweet orange oil, floral honey, and toasted malt, accompanied by the tempting aroma of pineapples in syrup. As the whisky dances on your palate, zingy tropical fruit flavors burst forth, intertwined with buttery vanilla and the delicate sweetness of lychee. The finish is a delightful balance of oily textures and sweet oak spice, leaving a lingering warmth that beckons for another sip. This single malt's journey through bourbon hogsheads and Hungarian Tokaji dessert wine casks has imbued it with a unique character that will captivate your senses. Bottled in 2022 by Murray McDavid, this limited release of 1,559 bottles at 46% ABV is a true treasure for whisky enthusiasts seeking a fruity and indulgent dram.
