- Description
- Glen Garioch's 1975 distillate represents a bygone era of Highland whisky-making, when the distillery was notably more heavily peated than its modern expressions. Bottled in 1990 by Jean Boyer and only recently released after decades in storage, this rare independent bottling showcases the old-school character that connoisseurs have long sought. Expect layers of smoke and spice underpinned by the malty backbone that defines Glen Garioch's heritage. A window into Highland whisky before industrial standardization, suited to patient collectors and those curious about how the distillery has evolved.
