About GreatDrams Glen Garioch
Glen Garioch started producing spirit in 1797, although there are claims (without evidence admittedly) of it producing legally even further back before this.
Although one of the oldest distilleries, this distillery has some surprisingly modern apparatus. Their setup includes a Lauter mash tun, steam heat source, shell and tube condenser and stainless steel washbacks. Pronounced ‘Glen Geery’, Glen Garioch notoriously has a deep cereal and spice note to the new spirit which also has a distinctive waxy character. When mature, the heaviness changes into a thick, creamy texture, allowing honeyed fruits and heather to emerge. As this superb whisky from GreatDrams demonstrates.
