✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1797 by Thomas Simpson in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, Glen Garioch is one of the oldest operational distilleries in Scotland. Situated in the fertile Valley of the Garioch in Aberdeenshire, historically celebrated as the Granary of Scotland, the distillery leverages premium local barley and pure natural spring water. Now operating under the stewardship of Beam Suntory, the distillery maintains a steadfast dedication to traditional, small-batch craftsmanship that highlights malt purity and robust character. Glen Garioch is acclaimed for producing full-bodied Highland single malt whiskies marked by rich layers of heather honey, fresh orchard fruits, warm spices, and complex oak maturation.
