Nestled in the historic town of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, Glen Garioch is situated in the legendary 'Granary of Aberdeenshire,' renowned for centuries for producing Scotland's finest barley. This rare single cask release, matured entirely in a single Oloroso Sherry Oak cask (Cask No. 3963), represents the pinnacle of the distillery's robust, heavy, and wonderfully oily Highland spirit style. The intense wood influence of the Oloroso sherry cask wraps the distillery's signature honeyed, cereal-forward profile in layers of dark chocolate, dried figs, toasted walnuts, and warm baking spices. It is a testament to Glen Garioch's historic craftsmanship, capturing a singular moment in the warehouse's cool, damp microclimate.
🍾 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.
