- Description
- Glen Garioch's 10-year-old from the early 1980s offers a glimpse into the Highland distillery's character before modern production changes altered its profile. The palate shows the distillery's malty, slightly herbal foundation with notes of heather and dried orchard fruit, matured in ex-bourbon casks. The texture is light to medium with a clean, drying finish. A vintage snapshot of Highland distilling that appeals to collectors exploring how individual distilleries have evolved.
