Description
Distilled in 1968 before Glen Garioch's closure and sale to Morrison, this 36-year-old was aged primarily in traditional casks before a six-month rum cask finish added tropical warmth to the Highland character. Bottled at natural cask strength of 55.9%, the rum finishing introduces notes of caramel and vanilla against the distillery's characteristic spice and orchard fruit. A rare 2004 release from Douglas Laing capturing a pivotal moment in the distillery's history.
