✨ Technical Specifications
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.
