✨ Technical Specifications
This exceptional Highland single malt was distilled at the historic Glen Garioch distillery, one of Scotland's oldest established sites dating back to 1797 in the fertile Garioch parish of Aberdeenshire. Selected and bottled by the renowned independent bottler Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers for their acclaimed Càrn Mòr 'Strictly Limited' series, this expression was matured for nine years in Sherry butts before being bottled in 2021. The Sherry influence beautifully tempers Glen Garioch's signature robust, waxy, and honeyed spirit, introducing rich layers of dried dark fruits, warm baking spices, and a hint of toasted oak, all while maintaining its classic Highland character without chill-filtration.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch (pronounced 'Glen Geery') is one of Scotland's oldest continuously operating distilleries and the most easterly distillery in the Highlands. Located in the market town of Oldmeldrum within the fertile Valley of the Garioch—historically celebrated as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire'—the distillery benefits from prime regional barley and mineral-rich water drawn from the Silent Spring of Coutens Farm. Under the ownership of Suntory Global Spirits via Morrison Bowmore Distillers, Glen Garioch underwent a transformative renovation to reinstate traditional floor maltings and direct-fired copper wash stills. This classical production architecture, coupled with a 50-hour fermentation cycle, imparts a signature robust, honeyed, waxy profile with notes of orchard fruit and warm malt cereal. Celebrated for its non-chill-filtered, high-strength releases, benchmark expressions include the flagship Founder's Reserve, the 12-Year-Old, and vintage cask-strength single malt bottlings.
