✨ Technical Specifications
Glen Garioch, pronounced 'Glen Geery' and established in 1797, is nestled in the fertile Garioch valley of Aberdeenshire, historically celebrated as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' for its exceptional barley. As one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, it is renowned for its robust, traditional Highland character. This single cask release highlights the distillery's classic style: a rich, oily spirit with deep honeyed maltiness, orchard fruits, and warm baking spices. The expression reflects Glen Garioch's historic craftsmanship, utilizing local water from the Silent Spring and showcasing the profound, concentrated influence of dedicated oak maturation on their heavy, characterful spirit.
🍾 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.
