This bottling of a 16-year-old Glen Garioch is the second bottling from the Renaissance series, which is intended to show the development of the new unpeated variety. The whisky was distilled after a short closure of the distillery (1995-1997), matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2016.
Glen Garioch is a distillery in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, which was founded as early as 1797. It has had a chequered history with many closures and changes of ownership. Since 1994, it has belonged to the Japanese Suntory Group.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
