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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
