Distilled in the historic town of Oldmeldrum prior to 1960, this legendary Glen Garioch 25-Year-Old single malt hails from a bygone era of Scotch whisky production. During this period, the distillery utilized traditional floor maltings heavily influenced by local Aberdeenshire peat, alongside direct-fired copper pot stills. The resulting spirit is vastly different from modern iterations, characterized by a wonderfully complex, old-school profile. It marries intense, earthy peat smoke and industrial soot with rich notes of beeswax, heather honey, tropical fruits, and antique leather. Highly coveted by connoisseurs, this expression captures the robust, oily, and phenolic Highland style that defined Glen Garioch in the mid-20th century.

Glen Garioch is renowned for producing a robust, non-chill-filtered Highland single malt whisky, characterized by a rich, honeyed, and malt-forward profile with hints of heather, sweet spices, and, in its historic expressions, a delicate touch of peat smoke.
