✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.

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.
