GLEN GARIOCH 85/100

............. slightly bonkers east highland distillery with a quietly growing reputation for variable, but interesting Malt.
Whilst chatting to the seller in a local west-end wine shop in Glasgow, she told me that an old Professor popped in every day for bottle of the 15 y.o., day after month after year, till he died of alcohol abuse.
It was only the 15 y.o., nothing else.
Odd.
The flavour is of sawdust, varied wood-notes and pine/spices.
Glen Garioch 21 y.o. odd!/100

Feb'10 - 'Founders Reserve' 86/100 This Malt does have a great character, and the odd experience of rock-salt on the finish.
