Description
Glengoyne's 21-year maturation in refill wood from 1997 to 2018 strips away the heavy sherry influence the distillery is famous for, revealing the Highland malt's true core of orchard fruit, honey, and subtle spice. Distilled in an era before modern standardization, this vintage bottling at natural strength carries the character of Glengoyne's unpeated style in its purest form, unmodified by fresh wood. A rare opportunity to experience this Highland distillery without its signature sherried presentation.
