A fruity Highland malt from Glen Garioch (pronounced 'Geary'). Very fruity on the nose with some malt and custard cream biscuits on the palate, finish is a bit spicy - cloves pepper and honey - finish ends a bit abruptly. Solid enjoyable dram thats easy to drink but slightly disappointing only because the nose is bursting with tropical fruit and orchard fruit, but the palate and finish don't quite deliver what the nose promises.
