✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the fertile Garioch valley of Aberdeenshire, historically known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for its exceptional barley, Glen Garioch is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries. This single barrel 'Full Cask' expression represents the pinnacle of Highland craftsmanship, showcasing the distillery's signature robust and malt-forward character. Traditionally crafted using local water and direct-fired copper pot stills, the spirit undergoes a slow maturation in a single selected oak cask. This patient aging process allows the whisky to absorb the deep, complex nuances of the wood, resulting in a rich profile of heather honey, warm baking spices, toasted oak, and ripe orchard fruits, reflecting the unique microclimate of the Eastern Highlands.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glen Garioch blev grundlagt af Thomas Simpson i 1797 i den historiske markedsby Oldmeldrum og er et af Skotlands ældste fungerende destillerier. Beliggenheden i den frodige dal Valley of the Garioch i Aberdeenshire – historisk kendt som Skotlands kornkammer – giver destilleriet adgang til lokalt byg af højeste kvalitet samt rent, naturligt kildevand. I dag drives destilleriet under Beam Suntory, hvor man ufortrødent værner om det traditionelle håndværk i små partier for at fremhæve maltens renhed og den robuste karakter. Glen Garioch er anerkendt for fyldige Highland single malt-whiskies, der er kendetegnet ved dybe nuancer af lynghonning, friske plantagefrugter, varme krydderier og et komplekst fadpræg.
