Official Tasting Notes

Glen Garioch has a long history dating back to 1797 when it was founded by John Mason.The distillery is the furthest east in Scotland and sits in the old market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen. Exciting changes have recently been made by current owners Beam Suntory. The site now has its own malting floors with the ability to provide a quarter of its own requirements. Inspired to bring back the full-bodied characteristics of the old whisky the company have made alterations in the production. Direct gas firing of the wash still, a more lengthy process achieves the desired results.The style of Glen Garioch Highland single malt is sweet, creamy and full-bodied. Whisky is only produced in small batches and the focus is on quality not quantity. The non age 1797 Founder’s Reserve and a 12 year old make up the regular offering. There are also fantastic limited edition vintage releases.
