Maltbarn Glen Garioch 1993

This item is archived.

Distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2015 at 52.5% after 21 years in a Bourbon cask. Only a dozen or so bottles of the 142 from the cask have come to Canada, exclusively to KWM. 

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: beeswax, Old English Butterscotch ice cream, olive oil pancakes with white chocolate chips and mixed berry compote for syrup; thick, chewy and enticing.

Palate: insanely creamy and oily, very fruity and rich; more beeswax and Old English Butterscotch ice cream; the olive oil pancakes are still there with white chocolate chips, a side of mixed berry compote and some chewy bacon. 

Finish: long, creamy and toasty with subtle fruits and toasty but juicy oak that all fade into a coating beeswax.

Comment: I can't decide whether there is a trace of smoke in this one, but ultimately who cares it is lovely with loads of fruit and massive creamy beeswax notes.
