✨ Technical Specifications
Glen Garioch, nestled in the historic valley of the Garioch in Aberdeenshire, is famed for its robust, deeply textured Highland single malts. The Cask 3060 represents their highly coveted single cask program, where individual casks are selected by the master blender to showcase the purest expression of the distillery's character. Historically, Glen Garioch utilized local peat and traditional floor maltings, yielding a spirit with a distinctively rich, honeyed, and subtly smoky profile. Single cask releases like Cask 3060 highlight this heritage, offering an un-chill-filtered glimpse into the interaction between the distillery's heavy, waxy spirit and the oak. These expressions are celebrated for their notes of heather honey, toasted cereal, warm spices, and a whisper of Highland peat smoke, reflecting over two centuries of Aberdeenshire distilling craft.
