Glen Garioch Virgin Oak No. 1 Whisky
Out of stock
Aged in new white American oak casks that have not been seasoned with the usual Bourbon or sherry, or more simply.. virgin oak and as always with Glen Garioch bottled at 48% ABV for added depth and spice which is turned up to the max with the Vigin oak adding even more spice to the mix.
As close as a Scottish single malt gets to being a Bourbon, like an American diner of a breakfast malt, big, sweet, chewy oak and lots of spice.
