🥃 GLEN GARIOCH RENAISSANCE 18 YEAR OLD
Alcohol Percentage (ABV): 50.8%
Taste & Flavor Profile: The 18 Year Old in Glen Garioch’s Renaissance series is a superb demonstration of how their spirit evolves over time. The nose is rich and inviting, displaying notes of vanilla fudge, honeycomb, and warm gingerbread, balanced by a subtle citrus zest and a hint of lightly roasted nuts. The palate is full and warming, featuring deep flavors of caramelized apples, sweet barley sugar, and a vibrant black pepper spice that provides structure. The finish is long, complex, and memorable, with a lingering warmth and a pleasant oak dryness.
Key Details: This 18-year-old expression is the fourth and final chapter in the Glen Garioch Renaissance Series, marking a return to the distillery’s older, heavier style of spirit. It is bottled at a higher strength of 50.8% ABV to maximize flavor and is Non-Chill Filtered. It is matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, reflecting the Highland distillery’s traditional character. This bottling represents a mature, elegant, and powerful example of classic Highland single malt.
