One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland – and its most easterly – Glen Garioch has been making its mighty malt in the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen in North East Scotland, ever since 1797.
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.
The perfect accompaniment to Parmigiano-Reggiano, our 12 Years Old binds the dryness of the cheese, which in return provides a platform for the malt’s sweet fruitiness and enhances its clean barley notes.
Nose: The colour of sharp honey, on the nose heathery floral notes are balanced with the richness of poached pears and the sweetness of malted barley.
Palate: Crème brûlée and sweet ripe banana at first, then comes a light oakiness with pear fruitiness.
Finish: The palate leads to a long smooth, creamy and fragrant finish.
Jim Murray has scored this Glen Garioch 12 Year Old 88/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible ‘fraction more toffee at the expense of the smoke’
