✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, Glen Garioch, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, this single malt expression represents the pinnacle of Highland craftsmanship. Matured in a refill barrel (Cask No. 2542), this bottling showcases the distillery's robust, honeyed, and malt-forward character. Refill casks are highly prized by connoisseurs as they exert a gentler wood influence, allowing the natural, heather-honeyed distillate and subtle Highland peat smoke of Glen Garioch's traditional copper pot stills to take center stage. The 'Full Cask' designation highlights the unadulterated, pure expression of a single cask, capturing a unique moment in the distillery's rich history.
🍾 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.
