- Description
- Glen Garioch's 1998 distillation—from the year after the distillery's brief closure—matured for 18 years and was independently bottled by Adelphi with just 207 bottles produced. The spirit carries Glen Garioch's distinctive meaty, slightly earthy character balanced by orchard fruits and subtle wood spice from its maturation. The palate is robust with good texture and a clean, dry finish. A limited independent bottling that captures a notable vintage from Highland distilling history.
