Description
Glen Garioch's 1968 vintage matured for 36 years in a single cask before finishing its final six months in rum wood, then bottled at cask strength (55.9% ABV) by Douglas Laing with just 84 bottles released. The rum cask finish adds layers of dried fruit and subtle spice to the distillery's naturally sherried character accumulated over decades. A rare snapshot of 1980s bottling philosophy and Highland whisky at its most concentrated.
