So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

Tasting Notes – GLEN GARIOCH 21 YEAR OLD – 1994 / THE RARE CASKS RELEASE 6 (55%)

Colour: Pale gold colour.

Nose: Very fruity, citrus with notes of grapfruit most prominent, barley and inviting sticky, sugary vanilla.

Palate: Prominent grapefruit sourness counterpointing pineapple and warming vanilla sweetness.

Finish: Warm and spicy finish which is long with a satisfying glucose sweetness to top it off.

Overall: It’s got some tasy 55% Oomph! to it this one and the strong grapefruit notes surprised me at first but with added sipping (I am very dedicated) this became very morish indeed!
If you like a little sourness to your dram you will LOVE this offering!
