Top reviews for Glen Garioch 1797 Founder's Reserve:
— It was love at first sip. I especially like the smooth finish.
— Nice sweet beginning and little spice after. Very good sip and smoke scotch.
— Another fine bottle of high ABV (48%) that tastes far more complex than it should. Many of the higher ABV expressions are overpowered by the strength - but the good ones maneuver around that... Vanilla and spice stand out with the initial kick, with a very nice peppery finish. I will definitely be buying more of this at its price. 9 stars.

William,
It was love at first sip. I especially like the smooth finish.
Piotr,
Very nice. Light. Young but enjoying.
Phil,
I rated this highly because of the price point. At about $50, you will have a hard time finding a better scotch. My local store unfortunately does not carry this, but if it did, it would definitely be my go-to scotch.
Robert,
Enjoyed the Glen Garioch 1797 Founder's Reserve! Will keep in my bar. Good taste and good value.
