02 — The Transformation
The same 15-year-old Glen Garioch then begins an extraordinary second chapter.
After its original maturation, the whisky was finished for no less than 2 years and 9 months in a French oak Champagne cask from the Montagne de Reims – Forêt d’Exception.
A finish of almost three years is exceptionally long, allowing the Champagne cask to become far more than a surface influence and to genuinely become part of the whisky’s character.
