Product description
Glen Garioch 1797 Founder's Reserve debuted in 2009, a year in which the distillery changed its commercial offering as well as the presentation of its whiskies.
This edition is dedicated to the distillery's founders, John and Alexander Manson (the early history of Glen Garioch is shrouded in mystery, with some sources claiming that the distillery was built by Thomas Simpson and sold to the Manson brothers around 1840). 1797 Founder's Reserve is a whisky aged in white American oak barrels, bottled without an age statement and without chill filtration at 48%. Glen Garioch Distillery is owned by Beam Suntory and equipped with three stills (only two are used) can produce just over a million litres of distillate per year.

Palate : vanilla, honey, caramel, buttered toast, sweet breakfast cereal, apples, honeydew melon, walnuts, pepper, allspice and oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of green apples, vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, nuts and oak.
