Glen Garioch

One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland – and its most easterly – Glen Garioch (pronounced Glen Geery in the ancient Doric dialect) has been making its mighty malt in the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen in North East Scotland, ever since 1797. Shielded from the world’s prying eyes, deep in the fertile ‘Granary of Aberdeenshire’, and only ever produced in small, precious batches, Glen Garioch is a rare find indeed, but warmly appreciated by those who like a hearty Scottish Highlands malt.
