Distillery Info

Glen Garioch, one of Scotland's oldest and most easterly distilleries, has been crafting its robust malt in the historic market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen, since 1797.

Nestled deep in the fertile “Granary of Aberdeenshire” and well hidden from the world, Glen Garioch produces its whisky in small, cherished batches. This rare gem is highly prized by those who appreciate a bold Highland malt, naturally non chill-filtered, offering a rich maltiness, honeyed sweetness, and a creamy texture to savor.

Glen Garioch employs several distinctive techniques that shape its signature spicy and meaty profile. The distillery’s copper pot stills feature a traditional Highland base with short necks, but what sets them apart are the unusually long lyne arms, especially on the wash stills.

Another unique aspect is the use of a lauter mash tun, which produces a relatively cloudy wort.
