Glen Garioch Distillery

Glen Garioch Distillery is located in the historic village of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland. Founded in 1797 by John and Alexander Manson, Glen Garioch is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland, with a rich history of artisanal whisky production.

The distillery is known for its full-bodied, malty whiskies with a robust and complex flavour profile. Glen Garioch whiskies have characteristic notes of honey, toffee, spices and a subtle smoke, thanks to the use of lightly peated barley in the production process.

The whisky is mainly matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, ensuring a deep and rich flavour. Glen Garioch combines traditional techniques with a strong focus on quality, making it a respected name among whisky connoisseurs.
