- Description
- Glen Garioch's 1978 vintage reached 30 years of age before being bottled at cask strength in this limited release of 1,320 bottles with new packaging. Three decades of Highland maturation have built layers of dried fruit, baking spice, and oak integration into a complex, fully matured spirit. The cask-strength presentation preserves the whisky's depth without dilution compromise. A significant release for collectors, vintage enthusiasts, and those seeking mature Highland character at its most concentrated.
