Glen Garioch

History: Glen Garioch was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland, founded in 1797. It is one of the few distilleries which have not been sold very often, in fact, the first time it was sold was in 1943 and then again in 1970 to Morrison-Bowmore. 1997 it was completely renovated and refurbished. It is special because it uses excess heat from the distillation process to heat its greenhouses.
