✨ Technical Specifications
To celebrate two centuries of distilling heritage since its foundation in 1797, Glen Garioch released this legendary 37-year-old single malt. Distilled in 1958 and matured in the cool, damp dunnage warehouses of Oldmeldrum, this expression represents a bygone era of Highland whisky production. During the 1950s, Glen Garioch still used locally peated malt, giving this incredibly rare bottling a distinctively rich, smoky, and deeply complex character quite different from their modern unpeated style. It offers a liquid archive of Aberdeenshire's distilling history, marrying old-style peat smoke with decades of oak influence, tropical fruit notes, and heather honey.
🍾 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.
