Distilled in 1958 and matured for nearly half a century before its bottling in 2004, this legendary 46-year-old single malt is a monument to Glen Garioch's historic craftsmanship. Hailing from the fertile Garioch zone in Aberdeenshire, known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for its exceptional barley, this expression captures a bygone era of Scotch production. It exhibits the classic mid-century Highland profile: a rich tapestry of heather honey, old leather, beeswax, dried stone fruits, and a delicate, archaic touch of peat smoke that has beautifully integrated over decades in oak. It represents one of the oldest and most prestigious official releases from this historic distillery.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch is one of Scotland's oldest operating distilleries, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Now owned by Beam Suntory, the distillery is celebrated for its heritage and its recent return to traditional floor maltings and direct-fired heating for its copper pot stills. 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.
