Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bottle size

This is the first Glen Garioch whisky ever matured exclusively in virgin casks composed of North American oak. Glen Garioch Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky Artisanal Small Batch Release is the first Glen Garioch whisky ever matured exclusively in virgin casks composed of North American oak. While Scotch has traditionally been matured in used sherry, port and bourbon casks, the use of new oak casks to finish whisky is another weapon in a distillery's arsenal and allows the whisky to enjoy the sweeter and more complex flavors of virgin wood.

About the brand

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.

Ratings & Reviews (5)

In spite of being a NAS this articulation is in reality more lovely than the 12 and the 48% ABV truly permits the full fragrant profile of this whisky to satisfy the sense of taste. While the utilization of virgin oak containers is like whiskey the distinction in taste couldn't be progressively articulated: cinnamon apricots mint and grain. The completion is especially rich and fulfilling waiting in your mouth for a considerable length of time. Heavenly!

Scents like a smelly barrel nut shells. Wood flavor. Gets some more bourbony notes. Very barrel forward however the malt stands up quite well. Toasted grain on the tongue. Woody and fiery.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Oat cereal with a sprinkle of brown sugar. Pine breeze and a vanilla hum.

Taste

A big, chocolate burst, with chewy toffees and sugar coated sweeties. This is followed by the oak that you knew was coming, but it's surprisingly subtle. Spices and cloves too. Complex and tasty.

Finish

Vanilla reappears to calm down the oak spices for a nice, long finish.
