Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest distilleries in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, the Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. The distillery sits in the fertile 'Granary of Aberdeenshire,' legendary for producing some of the finest barley in Scotland. This expression is matured in a combination of North American oak bourbon casks and Spanish sherry casks, resulting in a beautifully balanced, robust Highland malt. It showcases the distillery's signature style: rich, honeyed sweetness, creamy maltiness, and a subtle hint of spice, all delivered without chill-filtration to preserve its full texture and aromatic complexity.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch is one of Scotland's oldest operating distilleries, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Now owned by Beam Suntory, the distillery is celebrated for its heritage and its recent return to traditional floor maltings and direct-fired heating for its copper pot stills. 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.
