There’s something about young expressions of whisky bottled by independent bottlers. I always feel that there’s a lot of honesty involved. You’ll get a real taste of a particular moment at the distillery instead of tasting a whisky which tries to be the same in every batch. A snapshot, so to speak.

Glen Garioch is one of the distilleries that stole our hearts, pair that with a young sherry puncheon expression with a de-premiumized label and you got me.

For such an affordable whisky, this is incredible. A higher ABV would make it even better, but nothing to complain as is.
