Glen Garioch, 12 yr old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 48.0% abv, Scotland, Highland

The Glen Garioch 12 year old gains its distinctive Highland character from maturation in two wood groups: American Bourbon, and Spanish Sherry casks. Each stage of the marriage adds distinct characteristics to the final single malt. Bourbon to soften the spirit and Sherry to add depth of flavour. The Glen Garioch range is both natural and non chill-filtered.

“fresh heather, poached pears and just a hint of oak”

“Superb – wow the whole grain intensity is wide and deep in the opening sniffs after the pour.” (Paul Pacult, Spirits Journal)
