✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deep in the historic 'Granary of Aberdeenshire,' Glen Garioch has been crafting robust Highland single malts since 1797. This single cask release, matured in a traditional hogshead, represents the distillery's signature heavy, oily, and honeyed spirit in its purest form. Hogshead casks, typically rebuilt from American oak, allow for a slow, balanced maturation, imparting rich vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet baking spices that beautifully complement the distillery's traditional malt-forward character. Historically, Glen Garioch utilized local peat, giving older or traditional expressions a whisper of earthy smoke, a profile highly prized by collectors of their single cask releases. This expression captures the rugged, honest character of Highland distilling at its finest.
🍾 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.
