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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch is one of Scotland's oldest operating distilleries, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Now owned by Beam Suntory, the distillery is celebrated for its heritage and its recent return to traditional floor maltings and direct-fired heating for its copper pot stills. Glen Garioch is renowned for producing a robust, non-chill-filtered Highland single malt whisky, characterized by a rich, honeyed, and malt-forward profile with hints of heather, sweet spices, and, in its historic expressions, a delicate touch of peat smoke.
