Production of Glen Garioch 12 Years Old Highland Single Malt

The production of 12 Years Old Highland Single Malt begins with carefully selected ingredients. The basic materials are malted barley and fresh, soft spring water from the Highlands. These high-quality raw materials are crucial to the quality of the final product. The barley is traditionally mashed in earthenware vessels and then slowly fermented. After fermentation, distillation takes place in copper stills, which ensure precise temperature control.

The whisky matures in carefully selected oak casks, which give it its characteristic flavor nuances. The whisky spends at least 12 years in these casks while the aromas develop and mature. Contact with the wood provides additional depth and complexity. The combination of oak and the existing fruity notes results in a superb, full-bodied whisky that is delightful both neat and in cocktails.
