✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, the Glen Garioch Highland Single Malt Vintage Edition 30 Year Old is a liquid testament to the fertile soils of the Garioch valley, historically known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire'. This rare, aged expression represents the historic craftsmanship of a bygone era at the distillery. Distilled decades ago, it showcases the traditional Highland style of Glen Garioch before its brief closure in the mid-1990s, featuring a robust, richly textured spirit. Slowly matured in the cool, damp dunnage warehouses of Oldmeldrum, this whisky captures a complex interplay of deep oak, old leather, heather honey, and a whisper of the delicate peat smoke that characterized the distillery's historic malting process.
🍾 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.
