Glengoyne Miniature 1999 14 años Single Malt Whisky

Since 2010, Glengoyne's visitor numbers have doubled. In 2018, over 90,000 people visited the distillery. Glengoyne Distillery not only boasts beautiful scenery and a variety of tour options, but its proximity to Glasgow is also a unique advantage. If you don't have a car, you can take a bus from Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station. The journey takes one hour, the bus stops right next to the distillery, which is located in the beautiful Trossachs National Park. The park was immortalized by British writer Walter Scott in his novel 'Rob Roy' and is considered a classic. Although some Glengoyne whisky is matured in bourbon casks, the majority is matured in sherry casks. Oak casks made from European and American oak are filled with sherry from Spain to season them. From felling the wood to the final bottling at Glengoyne Distillery, this process can take up to six years. The distillery is equipped with one 3.84-ton semi-lauter mash tun, six Oregon pine washbacks. There is also an unusual combination of one wash still paired with two spirit stills. The distillery employs both short fermentation (56 hours) and long fermentation (110 hours). In 2019, it produced 920,000 liters of new make spirit. Regular releases include 10, 12, 18, 21, and 25 year old expressions. Batch 7 of the cask strength was the first to add a small proportion of bourbon cask matured whisky to the original sherry cask whisky. The latest limited edition is the first release in the new Glengoyne Legacy series. This whisky, released in February 2019, is a no-age-statement expression, first matured in European oak Oloroso sherry casks, then finished in refill casks. Other limited editions include Batch 2 of the 30 year old and the popular Teapot Dram Batch 7, both distillery exclusives. The duty free range was completely renewed in 2018, with the 15 year old Distiller's Gold replaced by the Spirit of Oak series containing at least four whiskies, all heavy sherry style: Cuartillo (American oak Oloroso sherry cask), Balbaine (European oak Oloroso sherry cask), 28 year old (a blend of American and European oak Oloroso sherry cask original whiskies), and Glengoyne PX (American and European oak casks, PX cask finish).
