Detailed Description
A fascinating independent bottling of a malt little known in the mainstream but treasured by connoisseurs. This expression, from 1975, is one of the few remaining old-school Glen Gariochs, meaning that it is very noticeably more peaty than modern distillery expressions. The whisky was originally bottled in 1990, but the stock was forgotten about and so it has only recently been released with new packaging.

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.
