Glen Garioch 12 Year Old - The National Trust for Scotland (70cl, 43%)

Glen Garioch 12 Year Old - The National Trust for Scotland (70cl, 43%)

Released in 2003, this is a discontinued 12 year old version of Glen Garioch bottled for the National Trust for Scotland.

Glen Garioch is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. For most of the 20th century it was self-sufficient, malting its own barley using peat from Pitsligo, giving it a unique smoky character. In fact, in 1968 it was short-listed by then-owners DCL, to convert to heavily peated production in order to make up for a shortfall on Islay caused by a drought. In an odd twist of fate, the decision was instead made to re-open Brora for the job, and close Glen Garioch down. Morrison Bowmore then sprang to its rescue, restarting production in 1973. The maltings and distillery were closed down again by Beam Suntory in 1995, and only the latter resumed operations two years later, with contemporary Glen Garioch becoming an un-peated single malt. The new style was introduced in the form of an 8 year old distillery bottling in 2006.
