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.

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.
