This 14-year-old Glen Garioch from Berry Bros. & Rudd comes from The Auld And The Bold series and showcases a Highland single malt of substantial calibre. With an alcohol content of 55.1% and 14 years of maturation, this bottling has character and depth, where the strength of the cask clearly resonates without overshadowing the distillery's character.
Glen Garioch is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, located in Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire. The distillery is known for a full, rich style with a slightly oily texture and a great ability to absorb and integrate casks. Berry Bros. & Rudd, one of Great Britain's most renowned independent bottlers, typically selects casks that speak strongly for themselves.
An Oloroso butt was used for this release — a large sherry cask type that has provided the whisky with a rich foundation of dried fruit, chocolate, and dark berries. The designation 2011/2026 clearly places this bottling in time and emphasizes the single-cask nature of this selection.
This is a whisky for lovers of rich, sherry-driven Highland single malt. Full, warm, and with a lingering depth that only fully unfolds when you take the time to let it breathe in the glass.
