✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
