Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, Glen Garioch Batch No. 11 is a celebrated Highland single malt distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2011. The distillery, nestled in the historic Garioch region of Aberdeenshire—traditionally known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for its exceptionally fertile barley-growing soils—has weathered centuries of change. This particular batch showcases the distillery's robust, non-chill-filtered style, aged in select North American oak casks. It captures the essence of the Highland terroir with its rich, honeyed malt profile, warm spices, and a whisper of Highland peat smoke, reflecting the traditional direct-fired stills and local craftsmanship.

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.
