✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, established in 1797 in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, Glen Garioch's Highland Single Malt Wine Cask Matured expressions represent a masterful marriage of traditional Scottish distilling and fine European winemaking heritage. Located in the fertile Garioch valley—historically known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for producing Scotland's finest barley—the distillery produces a robust, honeyed, and naturally weighty spirit. When matured in select wine casks, such as those sourced from prestigious French châteaux, this muscular Highland malt absorbs deep hues, rich red berry notes, and structured oak tannins. The interaction between the distillery's signature sweet, heather-honeyed, and lightly spiced profile and the vinous complexity of the wine casks creates a sophisticated, multi-layered dram that honors centuries of craft.
🍾 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.
