Glen Garioch - 12 Year Old

Glen Garioch stands as one of Scotland's oldest working distilleries, established in 1797 in the town of Oldmeldrum in the Eastern Highlands. This 12 Year Old expression showcases the distillery's signature character, developed through over two centuries of craft in this historic region.

The Highland location lends a distinctive terroir to the spirit, with the distillery drawing water from the nearby Coutens farm spring. Maturation takes place in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, creating a well-rounded whisky that balances sweetness with gentle spice.

Glen Garioch uses floor-malted barley for a portion of its production, a traditional method that contributes to the spirit's depth and complexity.

The 12 Year Old expression delivers a classic Highland profile with honeyed notes, orchard fruits, and a subtle earthiness that reflects the distillery's agricultural heritage. Bottled at 48 percent ABV without chill filtration, this whisky retains its natural oils and full body.

For those seeking an approachable yet characterful Highland single malt with genuine provenance and craftsmanship, Glen Garioch 12 Year Old offers excellent value and authentic Scottish whisky tradition in every glass.
