    For the money, a great whisky and largely under the radar.

    Thanks for reviewing Alan
    Been a while since I've had a Glen Garioch. Might pay it a revisit...

    I wholeheartedly agree. Had a bottle of the OB last year and enjoyed it very much. This is exactly why I thought I’d try an IB as I think it will also be a real belter

    First time I had this one was about 15 years ago...liked it from the beginning...been a few bottles through the years, and always really good. No big batch variations over the years, and that's really good, and not to forget...
    always a good price, around€35-45 for a litre bottle were I buy it, I would actually say it's a bang for the buck dram🍷cheers

    Alan, good tasting notes. Just about finishing my bottle. Agreed it has nice balance and spice level. Great proof. Very enjoyable.

    Great review Alan - picked up a litre of this for a shade over £40 a week ago. Can’t wait to tuck in!

    Really like the Glen Garioch 12, did you try the 15 olorosso sherry cask matured? Would love to you make a review of that as well.

    I enjoyed this one. I did detect what I interpreted as a slight peaty note in the first maybe quarter of the bottle. Maybe I'm just still too inexperienced in my palate or oversensitive to such a taste because I'm not very fond of peat, but it wasn't enough to cause major negative impact. However, as the bottle went down, that characteristic faded away and I enjoyed it much more. Would I buy it again? It's a good price point, but there's a few others I'd go to first. Still, I wouldn't mind having this in my cabinet again someday. Cheers!

    I really enjoyed this one, it’s a good’un. I’ve just bought a Cadenheads Glen Garioch 11yo which I’ve yet to open so will be interesting to see how it compares

    • @thewhiskyfriend
      @thewhiskyfriend  Před 5 měsíci +2

      I bet that cadenheads bottle is awesome, however this is a solid whisky for the dosh Rupert....

    I just pulled my bottle out of the stash to look at it. The color is a bit suspicious. But at 48% and NCF, are you sure it's colored?

    • @jbar6284
      @jbar6284 Před 5 měsíci

      It is fairly widely-known to be coloured. "Mit farbstoff" label added in certain markets. GG12 is a delicious whisky.

    Brilliant whisky! Not a game changer but a solid solid dram! Which one would you pick between this and Aultmore 12? For some reason they feel similar to me both in character and in being under the radar drams. Cheers Alan!

    • @thewhiskyfriend
      @thewhiskyfriend  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Not tried the Aultmore 12 fella....will keep my eye out for it...do you recommend it...

    • @thewhiskyenthusiast
      @thewhiskyenthusiast Před 5 měsíci

      Yeah I highly do I think you might like it. Maybe not as hefty as the Glengarrioch but still a solid dram, would love to hear your thoughts on it.@@thewhiskyfriend
