Just 17 miles from Aberdeen in the very north-eastern tip of Scotland, Glen Garioch is the most easterly Scotch Whisky distillery not just in Scotland but the world. Blessed as it is with the north east’s mild climate, plentiful sunshine and not too much rain, the Valley of the Garioch has long been renowned as the finest barley growing area in the country. Once home to no fewer than six distilleries, today the Valley cradles just one – the one that bears its name.
Available in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland & Iceland
This expression is crafted to celebrate the distillery's founders, their unwavering commitment to producing exceptional whisky and the 200 plus years of craftsmanship that goes into every bottle. With its non-age statement, Founder's Reserve is a carefully selected blend of whisky aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The result is a whisky that captures the essence of Glen Garioch's character and offers a unique flavor profile.

As a 12-year-old whisky, it has been aged for a minimum of 12 years in carefully selected oak casks, allowing it to develop complexity, depth, and maturity. The result is a whisky that offers a harmonious balance of flavors and a smooth, refined drinking experience.
Region: Highland
Nose: The colour of sharp honey, on the nose heathery floral notes are balanced with the richness of poached pears and the sweetness of malted barley.
Palate: Crème brûlée and sweet ripe banana at first, then comes a light oakiness with pear fruitiness, leading to a long smooth, creamy and fragrant finish.
One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland – and its most easterly – Glen Garioch (pronounced Geery in the ancient Doric dialect still spoken in these parts) 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 Highland malt, non chill-filtered as nature intended, with a wholesome maltiness, honeyed sweetness and delicious creamy texture to savour.
