This latest release from the Highlands based distillery, is said to deliver notes of black cherry, sherry trifle, marmalade, tea rose, rum and raisin chocolate on the nose. Followed by notes of plum compote, cinnamon, cloves and tangy marmalade on the palate.

Glengoyne 30 Year Old – 2018 Edition, comes presented in a luxurious solid oak box, featuring an oak and rose gold bung and a hessian square, the outer casing reflects the traditional cask sampling method employed by the Glengoyne Distillery.

Commenting on the launch, Katy Macanna, Brand Manager for Glengoyne, said: “The latest release of Glengoyne 30 Year Old, is a testament to the quality, care and time that we take to craft our Single Malt Whisky. We work hard to maximise the sweet, fruity character of Glengoyne by proudly running our stills more slowly than any other whisky distillery and by employing a six year journey from oak forest to Glengoyne cask before maturation – this new expression is absolutely worth the wait.”

Limited to 5,200 bottles, Glengoyne 30 Year Old – 2018 Edition, will be available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £700.
