Glengoyne 30 Year

This item is archived.

We love the 25 year and can't wait to try the new 30 year old. Only 13 hand selected sherry casks will be married a year for bottling as 30 year. 46.8%. 

Distiller's Tasting Note

Nose: Black Cherry, Sherry Trifle, Marmalade, Tea Rose, Rum & Raisin Chocolate.

Taste: Burst of sweetness changing quickly to Plum compote, Cinnamon, Cloves and Tangy Marmalade.

Finish: Soft Oak dryness and Cinnamon.

Distiller's Description

"Our finest sherry casks are left almost entirely to their own devices for 30 years. Almost, but not quite. Twice, perhaps three times in three decades, our malt master will taste this ongoing alchemy of cask and spirit. His aim: to hand-select only the best sherry oak casks.

"Has each decade added deep colour, intense flavour and limitless complexity to the precious contents? A small wooden bung is all that stands in our malt master’s way; in the cool of the warehouse, he eases it from the cask. He holds a dram to the light, swirls it beneath his nose, takes a sip – then records his judgement. Only the very best can become Glengoyne 30 Year Old – typically just 13 casks a year will bear the name."
