✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, Glen Garioch's Wine Cask Matured Small Batch release, bottled in 2018, represents a magnificent marriage of traditional Highland spirit and fine European winemaking heritage. Located in the fertile Garioch valley—historically celebrated as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for producing Scotland's finest barley—the distillery has crafted a robust, waxy, and honeyed spirit since 1797. For this limited small-batch expression, the spirit was fully matured in select French oak wine casks (specifically Bordeaux red wine casks). This aging process infuses the distillery's signature heather-honey and nutmeg-spiced profile with deep layers of black cherry, rich plum, toasted oak, and a velvety, chocolatey finish, showcasing the exquisite alchemy between Highland malt and fine wine oak.
🍾 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.
