Glen Garioch – 31 Year Old 1988 Old & Rare Cask Strength (Hunter Laing) (70cl)

This is a 31 year old single malt from Glen Garioch, distilled in 1988 and bottled at cask strength by Hunter Laing for its Old & Rare series. The whisky was made before the distillery closed in 1995, at a time when peated barley was still used there. Only 223 bottles were produced. The peat has softened over the years into a gently herbal, tea-like character, with fruit and chocolate notes alongside.
