Glen Garioch distillery is one of the oldest whisky distilleries in Scotland, dating back to 1797. 

The distillery, which originally incorporated a brewery and tannery, stands on the very edge of the town Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire. The location is known as ‘the granary of Aberdeenshire’, where barley and crystal springs have been abundant for over a thousand years, so it is not surprising that Glen Garioch Distillery was established as early as 1797.

In 1968 the production of Glen Garioch was suspended due to water shortages, however, in 1972 a manager was appointed with a brief to find another water source. A spring was discovered on a neighbouring farm. It came to be called ‘The Silent Spring’ as it could neither be seen nor heard. 

Another 50 years on and the distillery is still producing fantastic single malt whisky, just has it done for over 200 years.
