Description

Released in 2013, this is the first ever release of a Glen Garioch whisky aged entirely in virgin North American oak. This Single Malt Scotch Whisky is non-chill filtered and matured in heavily charred virgin American oak barrels, specifically from the inner heartwood of 100-year-old trees. It is an Artisanal Small Batch Reserve, offering a hearty Highland malt with wholesome maltiness, honeyed sweetness, and a delicious creamy texture.
