The location chosen by John and Alexander Manson for their new malt whisky distillery in 1797 was an obvious one. Oldmeldrum, in the celebrated valley of the Garioch, was named the 'Granary of Aberdeenshire', famous for producing the finest golden barley in all of Scotland. Steeped in legacy and narrative; Glen Garioch, pronounced geery in the ancient doric dialect of Aberdeenshire, is evocative of the Scottish highlands. Culturally distinct, influenced by tradition, and over 200 years of history.
