Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A bold, full‑bodied Highland single malt honoring more than two centuries of craftsmanship.

Glen Garioch Founder’s Reserve pays tribute to the distillery’s origins in 1797, capturing the robust, malt‑forward character that has defined this historic Highland producer. Bottled at a generous 48% ABV and non‑chill filtered, this expression delivers purity, texture, and depth in every sip.

🏆 The Story

Founded in 1797 in the village of Oldmeldrum, Glen Garioch is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries and a champion of traditional Highland whisky.
Founder’s Reserve is crafted as a tribute to the distillery’s early style — bold, hearty, and unmistakably Highland, with a focus on malt richness and natural character.

By bottling at 48% ABV and avoiding chill filtration, Glen Garioch preserves the whisky’s full texture and flavor integrity, offering a modern expression rooted in centuries of heritage.
