Detailed Description
Glen Garioch is a distillery with a comparatively low profile, and quality has varied over its lifetime under a succession of different owners – but real aficionados will tell you that the older expressions are some of the best malts in Scotland. This is a whisky with fruit and floral notes, but also, crucially, some restrained peat in the old Highland style. An exercise in sophistication, with a complexity few distilleries can match.

Distillery Information
The Glen Garioch distillery (pronounced Glen Geerie) was founded around 1797 by the Manson brothers, although many claim it was in fact Thomas Simpson. Different sources tell different stories. It is located in Oldemldrum, a small town in the Highlands famous for producing the finest barley in all of Scotland.
