Glen Garioch 12 Year Old 2011 is a richly flavoured Highland single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by James Eadie as an exclusive release for the UK market. Distilled in the historic Eastern Highlands in 2011, this distinctive expression has been matured in a first fill Oloroso sherry quarter cask (#374455), resulting in a whisky of remarkable concentration, depth, and complexity. Bottled at 54.5% ABV, it delivers a bold and characterful Highland dram.

The smaller quarter cask format increases the interaction between spirit and wood, intensifying the influence of the Oloroso sherry maturation. Rich layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and warming spice are beautifully balanced against Glen Garioch’s naturally robust and slightly earthy spirit character. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a full-bodied and highly expressive single malt.

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.
