The Auld Alliance

Lightly peaty, spicy with some softer floral, fruity flavours.

Glengarioch Distillery is found outside Aberdeen in the farming town of Old Meldrum. It's an appropriate place for a whisky distillery as the 'garioch' is an area once known as 'Aberdeenshire's granary.'

It's an old distillery too, having been established in 1797. Only a handful of the bi-centenary bottlings were produced in 1997 which will be very collectable. If you can't get your hands on one of these, one of the distillery standard bottlings will at least be something you can drink and enjoy and the 21 year old is particularly fine.
