Tasting Notes

Nose Honeyed malt, raisins, orange peel, and polished oak with hints of toasted nuts and warming spice. Palate Rich and textured, revealing flavours of orchard fruits, caramel, sweet malt, dried fruits, and gentle sherry warmth. Finish Long and elegant, with lingering oak spice, soft fruit sweetness, nutty notes, and subtle earthy character

Glen Garioch 12 Year Old 2011 is a rich and characterful Highland single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. for the respected First Editions series. Distilled in 2011 and matured in a single refill sherry butt (#20749), this exceptionally limited release was bottled in 2023, yielding just 66 bottles.

Maturation in a refill sherry butt allows the robust and slightly earthy spirit character of Glen Garioch Distillery to shine through while adding elegant layers of dried fruits, soft spice, toasted nuts, and gentle oak sweetness. The result is a beautifully balanced Highland malt where distillery character remains front and centre, complemented by subtle and refined sherry influence. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a highly collectible and distinctive single cask whisky.

The Distillery

Glen Garioch
Glen Garioch Distillery, established around 1785, stands among Scotland’s oldest working distilleries and is located in Oldmeldrum, part of the Highland whisky region. Currently operating with two stills, it once relied on traditional floor maltings—in use until 1993—giving older releases a subtle smoky note. Today, the core Glen Garioch range features the well-known 12 Year Old, while independent bottlers such as Cadenhead’s and Old Malt Cask occasionally present special single malt expressions. This enduring Highland distillery, steeped in craftsmanship and heritage, continues to captivate Scotch whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
