Deep in the historic 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' lies Oldmeldrum, home to Glen Garioch, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries. This single malt, drawn from Refill Barrel Cask No. 2545, represents the distillery's classic Highland style. Refill casks are highly prized by connoisseurs as they allow the distillery's true character to shine without being overpowered by active virgin oak. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit highlighting Glen Garioch's signature notes of sweet heather honey, ripe orchard fruits, warm cereal malt, and a delicate touch of spice. This expression pays homage to centuries of local agricultural tradition, capturing the essence of the fertile Garioch lands.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
