- Description
- Glen Garioch's Highland character shines through a decade of maturation, finished for at least three months in Pedro Ximénez sherry cask by independent bottler Darkness. The PX finish delivers rich dark fruit, toffee, and warming spice over the distillery's characteristic orchard-fruit base. Silky texture with a sweetly spiced, medium-length finish. A sophisticated choice for those seeking sherry influence without overwhelming the underlying malt character.
