The Glen Garioch 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky by Cadenhead’s from the Original Collection is a distinctive expression that showcases the unique character of Glen Garioch Distillery. Located in the Highlands of Scotland, Glen Garioch is one of the oldest operating distilleries in the country, dating back to 1797.

This 10 year old whisky, distilled in 2013 and bottled in January 2024, was matured in Oloroso sherry casks. These casks impart rich flavours of dried fruits, nuts, and spices, complementing the distillery’s naturally thick and fruity spirit. Cadenhead’s, as an independent bottler, selected this cask for its exceptional quality and the harmonious balance it brought to the whisky.

Glen Garioch is known for producing a spirit with a full texture and a consistent sweetness. The combination of this spirit with the Oloroso sherry casks creates a whisky that is both robust and refined. Cadenhead’s bottled this expression at 46% alc/vol, a strength that allows the flavours to shine while remaining approachable.
