- Description
- Glen Garioch's 30-year-old distillery bottling, released at 57.8% ABV, represents matured Highland character from a revitalised distillery. Three decades of aging in oak have developed the spirit into a rich, complex whole, with expected notes of dried fruit, spice, and subtle oak influence. The texture is full and warming, with a long, evolving finish. For collectors seeking mature Highland whisky with age and proof to match.
