Product description
Glengarry whisky debuted in the States in 2015. The brand is in the Loch Lomond Group portfolio and consists of two single malt versions and one blended whisky.
Its name refers to the Scottish forage cap (Glengarry Bonnet) worn by Scottish soldiers, especially members of military bands. It usually has a checkerboard band, and often a unit badge and a tuft of feathers in the color of the unit are attached to the side. The 12-year-old single malt presented here is a blend of distillates from the Loch Lomond Distillery aged in three types of casks: bourbon, reconditioned and re-fired. In the spring of 2019, Loch Lomond Group was acquired by Hillhouse Capital Group based in Hong Kong for approximately £400 million.
