Glen Garioch 21 year Old
Glen Garioch 21 year Old
Glen Garioch 21 Year Old is a limited edition Highland single malt from one of Scotland’s oldest operating distilleries, established in 1794 on the edge of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire. Often overlooked next to bigger Highland names, Glen Garioch has a loyal following for its sturdy, malty character — and with a 21-year age statement at 43% ABV, this is a classic, mature, easy-drinking style that still carries plenty of distillery personality.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- A 21-year-old age statement from Glen Garioch is increasingly uncommon, and tends to appeal to collectors who like “proper age” without chasing trophy pricing.
- A great bottle for drinkers who want mature Highland character in a balanced, approachable strength.
- Limited edition status adds a bit of scarcity, especially if the bottle is complete with original packaging.
