- Description
- Glen Garioch's 30-year-old from 1991 spent its first decade in refill oak before 20 years in first-fill Port barrique, creating a rare marriage of Highland character with dark fruit intensity. Rancio, prunes, and bitter chocolate dominate the palate, layered with the distillery's signature orchard notes and a subtle spice from long maturation. The texture is rich and jammy, with a warming finish that lingers with cocoa and dried fruit. At 41.4% ABV from just 175 bottles, this suits collectors seeking old, complex Highland malts with genuine provenance.
