Description
Matured in hand-selected sherry oak casks of exceptional character, this annual Glengoyne release of only 5200 bottles is the taste of 30 years, held in a single dram. 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. Each decade has added deep colour, intense flavour and limitless complexity to the precious contents. Only the best can become Glengoyne 30 Year Old.
On the palate, Creamy and well-balanced, apple crumble, honey drizzled toast, green grape and gentle spice, this richness builds in the warming finish, syrupy with hints of sweet oak and dates.
