✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deep in the historic valley of the Garioch, once known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for its incredibly fertile barley-growing soils, Glen Garioch distillery has been crafting robust Highland spirits since 1797. The Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask expression showcases the magnificent synergy between the distillery's heavy, oily, and honeyed spirit and the profound influence of European oak sherry casks. Traditionally distilled in copper pot stills, the spirit absorbs the rich, oxidative characters of Spanish Sherry wood during its long slumber. This maturation process cloaks the distillery's signature heather-honey and cereal notes in layers of rich raisins, warm baking spices, dark chocolate, and molasses, offering a beautifully textured dram that pays homage to centuries of Scottish distilling heritage.
🍾 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.
