Glen Garioch 32 Year Old 1988 – Family Reserve Carn Mor (42.3% abv)

Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers have proudly released the first in a series of extremely rare single cask whiskies: Càrn Mòr Family Reserve. Càrn Mòr’s Family Reserve range will include extremely limited and rare single casks, with each one being hand-selected by either Brian or Jamie Morrison from their own collection. This first Family Reserve release is limited to 108 bottles. This particular bottle is one of only three in Alberta.

The first release from the Family Reserve is a 32 year old Single Cask from Glen Garioch Distillery. It was distilled in 1988, when Glen Garioch was owned by the Morrison family. This cask was specially selected by Brian Morrison.

“This particular cask was selected initially for its outstanding spirit quality but also it very much reflects the style of which Glen Garioch was distilled in the eighties given we were malting and peating our own barley. A rarity amongst distilleries in those days. At that time the Morrison family owned Glen Garioch so it is one distillery that we have a very personal connection to.” – Brian Morrison

Each bottle is displayed within a wooden presentation case with a commemorative plaque. The family’s connection to this cask, and their personal memories of the distillery, are displayed on a signed letter inside the box. Family Reserve is the only series in the Càrn Mòr range to carry the signature of a Morrison family member.
