Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky
A bold, character‑driven Highland single malt crafted with traditional methods and unmistakable depth.
Glen Garioch 12 Year Old is a celebration of one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, known for producing robust, full‑bodied whiskies with a distinctive Highland backbone. Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, this expression delivers warmth, richness, and a beautifully layered profile that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned Scotch drinkers.

🏆 The Story
Founded in 1797, Glen Garioch (pronounced “Geery”) is one of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland, located in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum.
The 12 Year Old expression reflects the distillery’s commitment to traditional, non‑chill‑filtered whisky with a naturally rich texture and bold Highland character.
By marrying bourbon and sherry cask maturation, Glen Garioch creates a whisky that is both comforting and complex — a modern classic rooted in centuries of craftsmanship.
