✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Garioch valley—traditionally known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' due to its exceptionally fertile barley-growing soils—this single malt represents a bespoke snapshot of Glen Garioch's robust Highland character. The term 'regauged' refers to the official measurement of a cask's liquid volume and alcohol strength, a crucial ritual in the maturation of Scotch whisky. Aged in a traditional oak hogshead, this expression showcases the distillery's signature style: a rich, oily texture, deep maltiness, and a complex interplay of orchard fruits, heather honey, and warm baking spices. The hogshead cask allows for a balanced wood-to-spirit interaction, preserving the heavy, distillate-forward character that Glen Garioch's copper pot stills are famous for.
