Glen Garioch Aged 12 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 48% Age: 12 Years Old Country: Scotland
One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland – and its most easterly – Glen Garioch (pronounced Geery in the ancient Doric dialect still spoken in these parts) has been making its mighty malt in the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen in North East Scotland, ever since 1797. Shielded from the world’s prying eyes, deep in the fertile ‘Granary of Aberdeenshire’, and only ever produced in small, precious batches, Glen Garioch is a rare find indeed, but warmly appreciated by those who like a hearty Highland malt, non chill-filtered as nature intended, with a wholesome maltiness, honeyed sweetness and delicious creamy texture to savour.
This 12 year old from Glen Garioch has been matured in both bourbon and sherry casks before being bottled at 48% ABV.
