- Description
- Distilled in 1968 and bottled two decades later, this Glengoyne Highland malt comes from an era before the distillery's modern consistency. The unpeated malt brings orchard fruit and heather honey to the palate, with gentle wood influence from a quarter-century of maturation. The texture is smooth and refined, with a lingering sweetness on the finish. A historical snapshot of Highland whisky-making for collectors and those curious about 1990s bottling practices.
