Since 2018, bottlings have been characterized by a welcoming fruitiness. Distillery manager Stewart Walker has been voted Distillery Manager of the Year 2021 by the Icons of Whisky.

Nose: Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve reveals aromas of dried fruit, honey and vanilla, with a subtle hint of smoke. Feel: On the palate, this Highland single malt is smooth and creamy, with notes of ripe fruit, nuts and spices. Finish: The finish is long and warm, marked by notes of oak and caramel. A balanced, flavorful whisky, to be enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to release all its complexity.

Finish: Woody and spicy, reminiscent of tropical fruit. A hint of leather and beeswax.
