A Bourbon cask Glen Garioch. Nose has pear drops, cut grass and something a bit funky like a fake citrus-scented urinal cake. The palate has a taste of malt biscuits dipped in white wine and has a long grassy herbal finish. The other East Village drams are so good this kind of gets overshadowed by the others and is quite sharp tasting if you taste them together as it is so different.
In my YouTube Review this scored 5 out of 5 for Quality
The pinnacle of the Glendronach core range, the 21 Year Parliament, is a truly amazing dram. My review here: https://engineered.network/whisky/episode-22-glendronach-21-year/
Thank you Horny Pony for helping me try before I buy! (I since bought a bottle of this)
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
