The Glen Garioch distillery may well be Scotland's first licensed distillery. Varying dates are given as to the founding of the distillery, but all are predated by an article in the Aberdeen Journal on the 1st December 1785, which announced the first distillation of spirit at the site. This is OLD SCHOOL Glen Garioch, distilled in 1988, from when the distillery was floor malting their own malt, and using Highland peat. Bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company for its Cinema Series.
Batch 8 is a release of 242 bottles.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Wow! This is waxy. Overripe apples, green bananas, and hints of camphor, chalk, perhaps a little piney, and some fresh bread dough.
Just sublime! That waxiness comes across to the palate too, mulled cider, with dried peel, apricot compote, and white pepper.
Long, fruity, honeyed, and a little peppery spice. Just a hint of peat reek at the very end too.
