Glen Garioch, pronounced 'Glen Geery', is one of Scotland's oldest operating distilleries, established in 1797 in the small town of Oldmeldrum in the Highlands. The distillery has a rich history, having been founded by brothers John and Alexander Manson. Over the centuries, Glen Garioch has seen various ownership changes and was even mothballed for a period in the 1990s before being revived. It has maintained its reputation for producing high-quality single malt Scotch whisky, with a focus on traditional methods and craftsmanship.

Glen Garioch is known for its robust and full-bodied Highland single malts, often characterized by a rich, fruity profile with hints of heather and spice. The distillery uses non-chill filtration and natural color, ensuring that the whisky retains its authentic character. Glen Garioch's unique approach includes using a combination of traditional floor maltings and modern techniques, which contributes to its distinctive flavor profile. The distillery's commitment to quality and tradition makes it a respected name among whisky enthusiasts.
