- Description
- Glen Garioch's rare 21-year-old old bottling represents a different era of the Highland distillery's production, now difficult to locate. The palate displays the distillery's signature malt backbone enriched by extended cask maturation in sherry wood, delivering layers of dried stone fruit, warming spice, and subtle oak tannin. The texture is full and mouth-coating. A vintage Highland single malt for collectors and those seeking examples of how older bottlings express distillery character.
