Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries, established in 1797 in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, this single cask expression represents the pinnacle of Highland craftsmanship. Glen Garioch, situated in the fertile 'Granary of Aberdeenshire,' is celebrated for its robust, honeyed, and malt-forward spirit. This particular expression has been matured entirely in an Oloroso Sherry butt (Cask No. 3962), a process that marries the distillery's signature heather-honey and warm cereal character with the deep, oxidative richness of traditional Spanish sherry wood. The result is a deeply complex dram, rich with notes of dark chocolate, dried figs, nutmeg, and a whisper of classic Highland earthiness.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch is one of Scotland's oldest operating distilleries, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Now owned by Beam Suntory, the distillery is celebrated for its heritage and its recent return to traditional floor maltings and direct-fired heating for its copper pot stills. Glen Garioch is renowned for producing a robust, non-chill-filtered Highland single malt whisky, characterized by a rich, honeyed, and malt-forward profile with hints of heather, sweet spices, and, in its historic expressions, a delicate touch of peat smoke.
