✨ Technical Specifications

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.

🍾 About the Producer

Established in 1797 by Thomas Simpson in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, Glen Garioch is one of the oldest operational distilleries in Scotland. Situated in the fertile Valley of the Garioch in Aberdeenshire, historically celebrated as the Granary of Scotland, the distillery leverages premium local barley and pure natural spring water. Now operating under the stewardship of Beam Suntory, the distillery maintains a steadfast dedication to traditional, small-batch craftsmanship that highlights malt purity and robust character. Glen Garioch is acclaimed for producing full-bodied Highland single malt whiskies marked by rich layers of heather honey, fresh orchard fruits, warm spices, and complex oak maturation.
