✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
