✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer

Glen Garioch is acclaimed for producing full-bodied Highland single malt whiskies marked by rich layers of heather honey, fresh orchard fruits, warm spices, and complex oak maturation.
