✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named in honor of the Manson brothers who established the distillery in 1797, Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve is a celebration of the historic Garioch region in Aberdeenshire, historically referred to as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' due to its exceptionally fertile barley-growing lands. This Highland single malt is crafted using traditional methods, utilizing the local water source from the Silent Spring. Aged primarily in first-fill North American oak bourbon casks, it showcases the distillery's signature robust, honeyed, and malt-forward character. The absence of chill-filtration preserves its natural oils and complex textures, delivering a spirit rich with notes of sweet vanilla, butterscotch, green apple, and a warm, citrusy spice.
