✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glen Garioch, nestled in the historic valley of the Garioch—traditionally known as the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire' due to its highly fertile soils ideal for growing barley—has long been celebrated for its robust and muscular Highland character. This single cask expression, drawn from Refill Bourbon Barrel No. 2976, represents a purist's approach to maturation. While first-fill casks impart heavy vanilla and oak notes, a refill bourbon barrel allows the distillery's true DNA to take center stage. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit where Glen Garioch's signature honeyed malt, green apple brightness, and delicate heather spice are gently framed by soft, creamy vanilla and toasted coconut undertones. This cask-strength release captures a singular moment in the distillery's history, showcasing the interplay between Highland climate, local water, and patient wood aging.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glen Garioch blev grundlagt af Thomas Simpson i 1797 i den historiske markedsby Oldmeldrum og er et af Skotlands ældste fungerende destillerier. Beliggenheden i den frodige dal Valley of the Garioch i Aberdeenshire – historisk kendt som Skotlands kornkammer – giver destilleriet adgang til lokalt byg af højeste kvalitet samt rent, naturligt kildevand. I dag drives destilleriet under Beam Suntory, hvor man ufortrødent værner om det traditionelle håndværk i små partier for at fremhæve maltens renhed og den robuste karakter. Glen Garioch er anerkendt for fyldige Highland single malt-whiskies, der er kendetegnet ved dybe nuancer af lynghonning, friske plantagefrugter, varme krydderier og et komplekst fadpræg.
