✨ Technical Specifications

Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, established in 1797 in the fertile Garioch lands of Aberdeenshire—often called the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire'—this Highland single malt is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. The Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask Matured 15 Year Old undergoes a patient maturation entirely in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. This intense wood contact wraps Glen Garioch's signature robust, honeyed, and slightly waxy spirit in layers of rich dried fruits, warm baking spices, dark chocolate, and orange peel. The local barley and historic water source from the Silent Spring combine with traditional production methods to yield a deeply complex dram that honors over two centuries of distilling heritage.

🍾 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.
