✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the fertile Garioch lands of Aberdeenshire, often called the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' due to its exceptional barley, Glen Garioch is steeped in Highland history. This rare single cask expression, Cask 830, bottled in 2012, showcases the distillery's robust, traditional character. Historically known for its rich, oily distillate, Glen Garioch's single cask releases capture a unique moment in time, where the spirit's natural honeyed, malt-forward profile interacts intensely with a single selected oak cask. This results in an exceptionally deep and complex dram, highlighting notes of orchard fruits, warm spices, and a signature heather-honey sweetness that has defined this historic distillery for over two centuries.
🍾 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.
