✨ Technical Specifications
This expression represents a fascinating intersection of Glen Garioch's robust, honeyed Highland spirit and the art of independent bottling by Morrison & MacKay under their celebrated C rn Mr 'Strictly Limited' label. Distilled in the historic town of Oldmeldrum—where local legends whisper of ancient Pictish battles and fertile soils—this single malt was distilled in 2011 and matured for six years in select Sherry casks before being bottled in 2018. The sherry maturation imparts rich notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and dark chocolate to Glen Garioch's characteristic heather-honey and cereal-forward profile, offering a youthful yet remarkably deep and textured dram that honors the distillery's centuries-old legacy.
🍾 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.
