The Glen Garioch 1797 Founder's Reserve Whisky is an emblematic expression of Scottish distillate, originating from the historic Glen Garioch distillery, founded in 1797. This reserve stands out for its robust character and rich flavor profile. The 48% alcohol content accentuates its intense and well-structured notes.

On the nose, Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve reveals a fascinating complexity of aromas, with evident notes of sweet malt, vanilla, and a touch of ripe fruit, inviting a deeper tasting. On the palate, it offers a beautiful roundness with flavors of honey, light spices, and a subtle presence of peat, making it particularly compelling and well-balanced.

This whisky, non-chill filtered to preserve all its original qualities, emerges as a prime example of Glen Garioch distillery's artisanal savoir-faire. With its long and warm finish, this spirit is ideal for connoisseurs looking for a whisky with a strong identity and a deep connection to Scottish tradition. The 100 cl bottle is perfect for sharing this superb example with friends and family during special occasions.
