Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is expanding its whisky portfolio with the release of an outstanding 25YO bottling.
Matured exclusively in hand-selected sherry casks for a quarter of a century, this unique malt is an importantaddition to the Glengoyne collection, which includes the 10, 12, 15, 18, 21 Year Old and Cask Strength malts.
The malt is presented in a new heavy bespoke bottle and outer box. The bottle features a fine metal stopper, crafted cartouche and delicately branded neck tag and is attractively displayed in an oak box interior, which includes an engraved plinth. The elegant exterior has a refined feather pattern subtly varnished on the pack.
Commenting on the new malt, Iain Weir, Marketing Director for Ian Macleod Distillers, said: "The Glengoyne 25YO is an extremely special malt. Matured in our traditional dunnage warehouses for 25 years in the finest European oak sherry casks, unchill-filtered and bottled as taste insists at 48%ABV, the result is a flavour of soft oak, cinnamon, stewed fruits and a Seville marmalade tang. A perfect after dinner dram."
Glengoyne is owned by one of Scotland's leading, independent, family-owned distillers, Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. Unlike most other single malt whiskies, Glengoyne dries its malted barley using only warm air resulting in this extremely subtle yet complex malt where all the delicate flavours are freely expressed.
Glengoyne Distillery - highly regarded as Scotland's most beautiful distillery in Dumgoyne near Loch Lomond - runs its stills slower than any other distillery, supporting the claim that Glengoyne genuinely is "Worth the Wait".
The Glengoyne 25YO will be available from April. The UK RRP for the 70cl bottle is £250.
