✨ Technical Specifications
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.

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.
