✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glen Garioch, nestled in the fertile Garioch lands of Aberdeenshire, has been crafting robust Highland single malts since 1797. This expression represents a single cask selection matured in a traditional hogshead. Hogshead casks, typically reconstructed from American oak, allow for a nuanced maturation that imparts delicate vanilla, toasted coconut, and sweet spice notes to the distillery's signature heavy, waxy, and honeyed spirit. Historically celebrated for its rich, malt-forward character, Glen Garioch's spirit reflects the ancient agricultural abundance of the region often called the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire', offering a beautifully textured dram with hints of heather and orchard fruit.
🍾 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.
