Glen Garioch 8 Year Old - Premier Barrel (Douglas Laing)
Glen Garioch
Tasting Notes
This Glen Garioch 8 Year Old single malt whisky from Douglas Laing's Premier Barrel Series is a delightful dram that will transport you to a cozy bakery. The nose is an inviting blend of custard tarts dusted with vanilla and nutmeg, a drizzle of honey, and the comforting aroma of buttery oak char. On the palate, it's like biting into a currant bun followed by a gooey flapjack, with layers of toasted spices, malt loaf, and roasted nuts adding depth and complexity. The finish is a warm embrace of ginger, cinnamon, and a subtle hint of fennel, lingering pleasantly on the tongue. This whisky, matured for eight years in a single cask and hand-filled into 288 charming decanters, is a true gem that showcases the craftsmanship of Glen Garioch and the expertise of Douglas Laing.
