Description
This Glen Garioch release from Cadenhead in 2024 exemplifies why this distillery deserves to be mentioned alongside titans like Dailuaine, Mortlach, and Clynelish, particularly for its signature waxy character. Aged for 10 quiet years in Oloroso sherry casks, the whisky is a savoury, merry-go-round that stands tall amongst the Original Collection range.
Cadenhead’s description of the spirit as “thick and fruity, with a strong texture and consistent sweetness” perfectly captures its essence.
About Glen Garioch distillery.
Pronounced “Glen Geery”, this is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, dating all the way back to 1797. Sitting in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, the exterior demonstrates the historical weight the distillery holds and the buildings are a good example of a centuries-old site. There are small rooms that have clearly been added on and converted into use as production increased. The spirit produced is thick and fruity, with a strong texture and consistent sweetness.
