✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
