This latest release from the Highland based distillery, is said to boast a fruity, malty flavour profile, featuring notes of cinnamon, orange, peaches and honey.

Commenting on the launch, John Glass, Malt Master at Glengoyne Distillery, said: “The bourbon parcel we used in the distillation of Glengoyne Cask Strength Batch No. 007 brought in a sweetness and a burst of vanilla, which adds a roundness and depth to this sherry-dominant whisky. The bourbon plays a light, but important, part in the overall cask recipe.”

This latest Cask Strength Batch bottling, follows the launch last month of the Glengoyne Legacy Series: Chapter One, the first new global release from Glengoyne Distillery since October 2017.

Glengoyne Cask Strength Batch No. 007, is now available via www.glengoyne.com for a RRP of £59.99.
