✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, established in 1797 in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, Glen Garioch represents the robust, traditional heart of Highland single malt whisky. The 'Garioch' (pronounced 'Geery') is historically known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire,' famous for producing some of the finest barley in Scotland. Glen Garioch's single cask releases, often drawn from hand-selected oak barrels, offer an intimate glimpse into the distillery's rich, honeyed, and deeply malt-forward character. These expressions highlight the influence of traditional direct-fired copper pot stills and local water sources, resulting in a full-bodied spirit with notes of heather honey, warm spices, and a whisper of highland peat in older distillations.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch (pronounced 'Glen Geery') is one of Scotland's oldest continuously operating distilleries and the most easterly distillery in the Highlands. Located in the market town of Oldmeldrum within the fertile Valley of the Garioch—historically celebrated as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire'—the distillery benefits from prime regional barley and mineral-rich water drawn from the Silent Spring of Coutens Farm. Under the ownership of Suntory Global Spirits via Morrison Bowmore Distillers, Glen Garioch underwent a transformative renovation to reinstate traditional floor maltings and direct-fired copper wash stills. This classical production architecture, coupled with a 50-hour fermentation cycle, imparts a signature robust, honeyed, waxy profile with notes of orchard fruit and warm malt cereal. Celebrated for its non-chill-filtered, high-strength releases, benchmark expressions include the flagship Founder's Reserve, the 12-Year-Old, and vintage cask-strength single malt bottlings.
