Glen Garioch Distillery
Founded In 1797, in the small Aberdeenshire village of Old Meldrum.
The granite built distillery lies in the heart of the traditional highland barley growing area and is an excellent example of harmony between traditional production methods and innovative conservation ideas.
For 200 years, the villagers of Old Meldrum have passed down the art of whisky making from generation to generation and Morrison Bowmore Distillers Limited have added pioneering methods of heat and energy conservation to these traditions. The use of waste heat and carbon dioxide from the distillation and fermentation process has in the past been utilised to heat approximately two acres of greenhouse, producing fresh vegetables for the local villages.
Glen Garioch Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky reflects the character of the quiet little village in which it is produced, typically Highland, full of charm with a long warm finish.
