Glen Garioch 1993-2018 | 24 Year Old | Old Malt Cask 20th Anniversary
Glen Garioch 1993–2018 24 Year Old (Old Malt Cask 20th Anniversary) is a single cask Highland malt bottled by Hunter Laing to mark the 20th anniversary of the Old Malt Cask series. Drawn from a refill hogshead and bottled in August 2018 at 50% ABV, this is a nicely “classic” indie Glen Garioch: mature, character-led, and not buried under heavy cask seasoning, with a limited outturn of 334 bottles.

Tasting Notes (typical profile for mature refill-hogshead Glen Garioch)
Nose: Honeyed malt, baked apple and pear, with vanilla cream, light waxiness and a gentle herbal edge.
Palate: Rounded and oily — toffee, cereal sweetness and orchard fruit, followed by peppery oak spice and a faint nuttiness.
Finish: Medium-long, warming and slightly drying, with lingering malt, soft vanilla and oak spice.
Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Anniversary Old Malt Cask releases have an extra layer of collectability, especially when paired with a clear single cask spec and stated outturn.
- Refill hogshead maturation is ideal for buyers who want distillery character first: malt, fruit, texture, and balanced oak rather than heavy sherry dominance.
- 24 years of ageing and a 50% bottling strength make it a strong “drink or collect” bottle with broad appeal.
