✨ Technical Specifications

Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest distilleries established in 1797, the Glen Garioch 21 Year Old Full Strength is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the Garioch zone in Aberdeenshire, often called the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for its superb barley. This expression showcases the distillery's historic style, characterized by traditional direct-fired stills and local peat. Aged for 21 years, this Highland single malt delivers a remarkably robust, oily texture with notes of heather honey, rich oak, sweet spices, and a delicate thread of peat smoke, preserved beautifully at a full strength of 50% ABV.

🍾 About the Producer

Established in 1797 by Thomas Simpson in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, Glen Garioch is one of the oldest operational distilleries in Scotland. Situated in the fertile Valley of the Garioch in Aberdeenshire, historically celebrated as the Granary of Scotland, the distillery leverages premium local barley and pure natural spring water. Now operating under the stewardship of Beam Suntory, the distillery maintains a steadfast dedication to traditional, small-batch craftsmanship that highlights malt purity and robust character. Glen Garioch is acclaimed for producing full-bodied Highland single malt whiskies marked by rich layers of heather honey, fresh orchard fruits, warm spices, and complex oak maturation.
