This limited edition malt, this was put into cask just before the distillery was mothballed for two years in 1995. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels this was one of the last Glen Gariochs to use barley malted on site - the distillery did not resume using peat or their own maltings when re-opened in 1997

Bottled without chill-filteration, only 1,000 cases were made available, with just 75 reserved for the UK.
