✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, established in 1797 in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, the Glen Garioch Highland Single Malt 10 Year Old is a liquid testament to the fertile soils of the Garioch—traditionally known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire.' This robust single malt captures the essence of the Eastern Highlands. Historically, Glen Garioch was celebrated for its hearty, malt-forward character, traditionally dried with local peat and distilled in direct-fired copper pots. The 10-year-old expression represents a classic era of the distillery, offering a rich tapestry of heather honey, toasted cereal, sweet baking spices, and a whisper of clean Highland peat smoke, reflecting centuries of traditional distilling heritage.

Glen Garioch is renowned for producing a robust, non-chill-filtered Highland single malt whisky, characterized by a rich, honeyed, and malt-forward profile with hints of heather, sweet spices, and, in its historic expressions, a delicate touch of peat smoke.
