- Description
- This rare 1970s bottling of Glengoyne's 8-year-old single malt offers a glimpse into Highland whisky production of that era, when distillery character was less homogenised across the industry. As a distillery bottling from nearly fifty years ago, it carries historical significance alongside whatever flavour evolution has occurred in the bottle. A collector's piece for those pursuing older Glengoyne expressions or vintage Highland malts from this formative decade.
