✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Representing the pinnacle of individual cask selection, Glen Garioch's single cask releases, such as Cask 800, offer an intimate glimpse into the distillery's robust Highland character. Located in the fertile Garioch lands of Aberdeenshire—traditionally known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' due to its exceptional barley-growing soils—the distillery relies on time-honored production methods. Single cask bottlings highlight the unique interaction between the heavy, oily distillate produced by their traditional copper pot stills and the specific oak wood of the barrel. Un-chillfiltered and bottled at natural cask strength, this expression captures the essence of Highland history, showcasing a rich tapestry of heather honey, toasted cereal, warm baking spices, and a subtle, earthier undertone reminiscent of the distillery's ancient malting floors.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glen Garioch blev grundlagt af Thomas Simpson i 1797 i den historiske markedsby Oldmeldrum og er et af Skotlands ældste fungerende destillerier. Beliggenheden i den frodige dal Valley of the Garioch i Aberdeenshire – historisk kendt som Skotlands kornkammer – giver destilleriet adgang til lokalt byg af højeste kvalitet samt rent, naturligt kildevand. I dag drives destilleriet under Beam Suntory, hvor man ufortrødent værner om det traditionelle håndværk i små partier for at fremhæve maltens renhed og den robuste karakter. Glen Garioch er anerkendt for fyldige Highland single malt-whiskies, der er kendetegnet ved dybe nuancer af lynghonning, friske plantagefrugter, varme krydderier og et komplekst fadpræg.
