✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the historic Garioch lands of Aberdeenshire, Glen Garioch is celebrated as one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, dating back to 1797. The 'Full Cask' single barrel releases represent the pinnacle of their traditional Highland craft, highlighting the unique interaction between the distillery's robust, honeyed spirit and individual oak casks. Historically utilizing local barley from the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' and pure water from the nearby Percock Hills, Glen Garioch's single casks are prized for their rich, oily texture, sweet maltiness, and deep heather-honey notes. These single barrel selections showcase the unadulterated character of a single distillation run, capturing a fleeting moment in the distillery's long, storied history.
🍾 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.
