Distilled at Glen Garioch distillery in 2013 and aged for 10 years in a single barrel, which yielded a total of only 221 bottles.
Glen Garioch distillery, established in 1797, stands as one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. The distinctive waxy character alongside notes of cereal and spice can be attributed to its short fermentation, before the flavors develop to thick honeyed fruits and leather.
NOSE: Spring lavender flowers - herbaceous and fresh - combine with soft caramel chews and the spiciness of candied ginger. Bright citrus notes with warming cinnamon bark.
PALATE: Melted honeycomb with a soft violet character. Fluffy marshmallow coated in milk chocolate balanced with the sweet tang of lime marmalade on hot buttered toast.
FINISH: As the floral notes fade, the texture of creamy milk chocolate remains. A slight hint of glace ginger in the background.
Begun in 2002, Single Malts of Scotland is a range of single malt Scotch whiskies curated by the passionate team behind Elixir Distillers (formerly known as Specialty Drinks). Elixir Distillers creates, blends, and bottles fine spirits from multiple categories, but Scotch has always been the bedrock of the company’s architecture; brothers and co-founders, Sukhinder and Rajbir, created the revered online retailer The Whisky Exchange in 1999, after decades of collecting.
The Single Malts of Scotland label represents Elixir Distillers’ dedication to finding exceptional and rare single malts in an age when these gems are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
In addition to the classic Single Cask collection, the Single Malts of Scotland also includes a small batch collection, Reserve Casks, and its ultra-rare Director’s Special series selected personally by Sukhinder Singh.
