✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Valley of the Garioch in Aberdeenshire, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries presents a testament to traditional Highland craftsmanship. This single malt, matured in a refill bourbon barrel (Cask No. 2543), showcases the distillery's signature robust and honeyed distillate. By utilizing a refill barrel, the wood influence is beautifully restrained, allowing the natural characteristics of the local barley—grown in the fertile 'Granary of Aberdeenshire'—to take center stage. Expect a profile rich in heather honey, creamy malt, green apples, and a subtle, lingering warmth that speaks to the historic direct-fired stills of this legendary distillery.
