✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glen Garioch's Highland Single Malt Virgin Oak is a pioneering release from one of Scotland's oldest operating distilleries, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum. Breaking away from traditional ex-bourbon or ex-sherry cask maturation, this expression is matured entirely in brand-new, heavily charred North American white oak casks. This virgin oak maturation coaxes out an incredibly robust, sweet, and spicy character from the distillery's signature honeyed and malt-forward spirit. The intense interaction with the fresh wood imparts deep notes of vanilla, rich butterscotch, and warm baking spices, offering a modern twist on Glen Garioch's historic Highland style.
🍾 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.
