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.

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.
