- Description
- Distilled in 1968 using peated malt—a practice Glen Garioch abandoned in 1997—this 29-year-old single cask offers a rare window into the distillery's historical character. Sherry cask #611 maturation softened the peat into integrated spice and dark fruit at cask strength (55.5%), creating complexity unusual for this traditionally unpeated Highland distillery. A collector's piece documenting Glen Garioch's diverse production methods.
