From time to time a team of the distillery's own expert craftsmen periodically sample the Glen Garioch casks, especially those in the heart of the warehouse. These casks contain unusually fine whisky and are allowed to mature for many years. When they are at the peak of their perfection, they are taken from the warehouse - one by one - and bottled one cask at a time. In this way the cream of the crop, so to speak, become Glen Garioch Small Batch Release.

These specially selected casks go onto become the Glen Garioch Small Batch Releases.
