Nose: Peat, leather, coffee, oak, white grapes, hints of chocolate, hints of white pepper.

Tasting: Sweet salty. Peat, sweet apples, prunes, hints of cinnamon, smoked ham, raisins.
Finish: Medium. Astringent, pears, plums.

Comments:

Big disconnect between the airy light mouthfeel and the complex, savoury, meaty flavour notes! I like the slightly fermented taste, and there's a funny interesting peppery kick in the nose too. Lots going on here. Glen Garioch whiskies are quite light - could almost be Lowlanders.

Verdict:

I like this a lot!
