- Description
- Glen Garioch's 2012 vintage aged for 10 years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrel by independent bottler Single & Single (52% ABV) presents the distillery's well-rounded character without excess. Buttered bread, rose, and malt greet the nose, followed by honey, taffy, and milk chocolate on the palate—a balanced interplay of grain sweetness and subtle oak. The texture is smooth and approachable, with a clean, honeyed close. Ideal for those seeking Highland character without austerity.
