Glen Garioch 19 Year Old First-fill Sherry Butts by Living Souls Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A 19‑year‑old single malt from one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries, left to soak for nearly two decades in first‑fill sherry butts until the spirit is saturated with preserved plums, dark treacle and tobacco‑leaf depth. At 48% ABV, non‑chill filtered and natural colour, it carries a satisfying weight without becoming heavy, balancing autumnal notes of worn saddle leather, baking spice and roasted nuts with just enough dried apricot and cocoa to keep it indulgent. The finish lingers like the last embers in a fireplace—walnuts, ginger warmth, a trace of vanilla—making this a sherried Highland that’s less about bright sweetness and more about mood, texture and that slightly old‑fashioned, fireside elegance that sherry lovers chase.
