- Description
- This 1990s bottling of Glengoyne 17 Year Old represents an era when the distillery had matured its Highland-distilled spirit in Lowland warehouses, separated only by the road running between Scottish regions—a quirk that allowed for consistent character across distillery splits. At 17 years, the sherry cask influence is more pronounced than younger expressions, bringing deeper amber color and richer dried fruit notes than contemporary releases. The whisky suits those seeking vintage Highland character with the mellowness that only three decades in bottle can provide.
