25 years of patience is rewarded in this Glen Garioch small batch release. Matured exclusively in North American Oak, the end result is a wave of flavour, with hints of spice, juicy fruits and a traditional old style Glen Garioch smokiness. Smooth velvet like cream and subtle coconut peak the senses from the nose. Turning to woodspice, pungent peat smoke with a medley of sweet juicy pears and ripe bananas on the palate. A hardy, yet refined Highland treat. A new introduction from this small Highland distillery, Glen Garioch 1986 is very limited with 3,000 bottles available for the entire world. It is the fifth expression in Glen Garioch’s Vintage range to date – 1978, 1990, 1991 and 1994. It’s a liquid gem from a Highland distillery, a perfect dram for the whisky connoisseur.
