Glen Garioch Founders Reserve Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that bridges tradition with bold character?

The Glen Garioch Founder’s Reserve represents one of Scotland’s most enduring distillery legacies, crafted by a distillery founded in 1797 in the heart of Aberdeenshire. This no-age-statement expression celebrates the Manson brothers who established this Highland institution, delivering robust maltiness that sets it apart from gentler Speyside offerings like Benromach 10 Years or Tomintoul 16 Years.

**Technical Specifications:**
• Distillery: Glen Garioch – established 1797, one of Scotland’s oldest
• Region: Highland – known for diverse, character-driven whiskies
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for neat sipping or with a splash of water
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Bourbon and Sherry casks, non-chill filtered
• Tasting Notes: Sweet vanilla and green apple on the nose, butter cream and chocolate lime sweets on the palate, finishing with subtle oak smoke and crisp apple skin
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass, or with a few drops of water to unlock additional toffee and butterscotch notes

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly rewarding when allowed to breathe – the honeyed sweetness develops beautifully, revealing layers of brandy butter complexity that distinguish it from standard Highland offerings.

Ideal for: Whisky enthusiasts seeking character over age statements, Highland malt collectors. Pairs with: Aged cheeses, dark chocolate, or rich Malaysian beef rendang. Recommended for: Those ready to explore beyond entry-level expressions but not quite ready for premium aged selections like Dalmore 21.
