Boutique-y Whisky Company, Glen Garioch 29 year old Batch 4

RRP £199.95

Glen Garioch is one of the oldest whisky distilleries in Scotland, dating back to 1797; the pronunciation ‘Gerry’, in the Doric dialect of Aberdeen, is still used. With aromas of orchard fruits and touches of underlying smoke, this smells like an old whisky. On the palate the fruits, including rhubarb, become more stewed and, though still sweet, there is an earthy quality too.
