✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Renaissance' series from Glen Garioch is a celebrated multi-chapter release that chronicles the maturation journey of the distillery's robust Highland spirit. Named to mark the revival and rebirth of this historic Aberdeenshire distillery, which was founded in 1797, the Renaissance collection showcases how the malt's character evolves over time, typically starting from a 15-year-old expression up to an 18-year-old. Located in the fertile Garioch district—historically known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' due to its exceptionally fine barley crops—the distillery utilizes local water and traditional production methods. This single malt is crafted using non-chill filtration and is bottled at cask strength, preserving its rich, full-bodied profile of warm honey, toasted malt, baked apricots, and signature Highland heather spice.
🍾 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.
