✨ Technical Specifications
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.
