Up to six years from oak forest to Highland distillery. That is how long it takes before sherry casks are finally ready to receive this spirit. However, the journey has just begun.
Next, time and wood work together - within the cool darkness of the traditional, earth-floored warehouses. Here, away from sight, the amber hue and rich mouthfeel develop, along with a finish that lasts and lasts.
Glengoyne whisky is then carefully bottled at cask strength, to preserve the rich, bold flavours. Digestive biscuits, ripe bananas and a hint of pepper.
This is the taste of Scotland’s slowest distillation, bottled as tradition insists: at cask strength, non chill-filtered. Like every Glengoyne, the amber hue is created by time and oak, nothing more.
