{"product_id":"glen-garioch-27-year-old-1970","title":"Glen Garioch 1970 Single Cask 27 Year Old #08","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlen Garioch 1970 Single Cask 27 Year Old (Hogshead #08) is a proper deep-cut Highland collectible from one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, bottled from a period when Glen Garioch’s character was very different to today. For much of the 20th century it malted its own barley and used local peat, giving older vintages a distinctly smoky, robust edge — and those pre-1995 releases are increasingly sought-after now that modern Glen Garioch is unpeated. Distilled in April 1970 and bottled at 27 years old, this is a single cask snapshot of a lost style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Details\u003cbr\u003e- Distillery: Glen Garioch\u003cbr\u003e- Region: Highland, Scotland\u003cbr\u003e- Style: Single malt Scotch whisky\u003cbr\u003e- Vintage\/Distilled: April 1970\u003cbr\u003e- Age: 27 Year Old\u003cbr\u003e- Cask Type: Hogshead\u003cbr\u003e- Cask Number: #08\u003cbr\u003e- ABV: 51.3%\u003cbr\u003e- Bottle Size: 70cl\u003cbr\u003e- Distillery Status: Operational\u003cbr\u003e- Release Type: Single Cask\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes (typical profile for mature, old-style Glen Garioch)\u003cbr\u003eNose: Waxy malt, honey and dried herbs, with earthy peat smoke, old oak, and a touch of citrus peel.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Oily and assertive — malt loaf, toffee and peppery oak spice, with a smoky\/sooty thread and a slightly mineral, coastal-leaning dryness.\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Long, drying and complex, with lingering smoke, herbal bitterness, and polished oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On\u003cbr\u003e- A 1970 vintage single cask from Glen Garioch is a strong rarity play, especially given the distillery’s stop-start history and changing production style.\u003cbr\u003e- Pre-1995 Glen Garioch is the era many enthusiasts chase for that distinctive smoky, weighty character that’s no longer made.\u003cbr\u003e- Bottled at 51.3% ABV, it’s got the strength collectors and serious drinkers tend to prefer in older single cask releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition \/ Notes for Buyers\u003cbr\u003ePlease check photos for fill level, label condition, capsule integrity and any carton\/box wear (if applicable).
