Note

A dram with a heart of rich fruit and elegant spice. More than a quarter-century in the finest first-fill Oloroso sherry casks gives the Glengoyne 28 Year Old extraordinary depth and complexity, long into the finish.

From acorn to mature tree, the oak takes a lifetime to come of age. When the time comes, our Spanish coopers insist the wood is dried by the sun never kilns. The oak is then shaped into staves and hooped into casks, before being filled with finest Oloroso sherry for up to three years.

Emptied of sherry, these casks come to rest here at Dumgoyne, to hold our spirit. Together, they will spend 28 long years in the cool darkness of our stone-built warehouses.

Our reward? A beautifully aged Highland single malt, with a dark mahogany hue and long, spicy finish.
