Description
One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland and the 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. Only ever produced in small, precious batches, Glen Garioch is a rare find indeed, and 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.Distilled in the year that Glen Garioch’s Greenhouse Project came to fruition, the Glen Garioch 1978 Vintage sees the welcome return of peat to the Highland malt – smoked like a distant smouldering fire. Matured in a Bourbon Cask and one of 1320 bottles.
