- Description
- Glen Garioch's 1991 distillation was aged for 21 years in cask 9809 before Hunter Laing selected it for their Old Malt Cask series, yielding 251 bottles of this Highland single malt. The distillery's earthy, slightly peppery character develops into something more rounded and complex over 21 years, with the cask influence adding vanilla backbone without overwhelming the spirit. A serious, mature dram that represents Highland character from a distillery that doesn't trade on its name.
