Tasting notes：

Nose: At first, a clear alcohol note appears, but it disappears quickly. After about a minute in the glass, smoky, peaty aromas with light hay become noticeable. That doesn't really fit into a Glen Garioch.Then musty, almost musty aromas emerge. A combination of petting zoo, dry animal feed and poorly ventilated circus tent paired with a slight spiciness come through.

Palate: What is that now again? A sharpness immediately spreads on the palate, not from the alcohol, but from chilli pods with lots of Scoville and Cheyenne pepper.The sharpness is superimposed on everything.

Finish: The spiciness remains dominant for a while, then a note of creme brulee and shortbread emerges from behind the chili, which gives hope for more. The fruit flavors typical of Glen Garioch try to fight against the sharpness. In vain.
