- Description
- Glengoyne's 1969 vintage, matured in sherry cask for 27 years and independently bottled by Cadenhead's, emerges at a cask strength of 62.8% ABV—a remarkably high proof that speaks to the spirit's intensity and the cask's generous extraction. The sherry influence would have enriched this Highland malt with deep colour, dried fruit, and spiced oak character over nearly three decades. This 1990s bottling (254 bottles produced) suits experienced drinkers seeking the uncut power and complexity of old sherried Highland whisky.
