✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 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.
