Special features: This limited release of Glen Garioch was distilled in 2010 and received a finish in Ximenez-Spinola Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. With only 913 bottles worldwide, this 14-year-old single malt offers an extraordinary interplay of intense fruitiness and profound sherry characteristics. The bottling was done without chill filtration and without coloring, which emphasizes the natural complexity.
