Adelphi Official Tasting Notes: GLEN GARIOCH 2011 9 Years Old Highland 58.5% Vol 1 of only 462 bottles from cask 2374 Fully matured in a refill sherry butt, Vin Jaune in colour and showing a medium bead. An inviting nose kicks off with coconut cream, bounty bar and stem ginger before opening into white pepper, nougat and tobacco tin. The palate is a cracking all-rounder with Irn-Bru bars, gorse flower, medicine cabinet, tangerine and pink peppercorns. A dry, spicy finish compliments this whisky perfectly.
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
