"We are delighted to announce the launch of a new series of annual releases from Glengoyne Distillery. - THE GLENGOYNE LEGACY SERIES -
The Legacy Series will showcase the fascinating stories of the people, place and history of Glengoyne Distillery, with each release representing a significant chapter of our legacy. The first bottling of this new series – Chapter One – will be released later this month on Monday 18th February. This first release honours Cochrane Cartwright, the legendary distillery manager who transformed the distillery in 1869 by slowing the stills, making them the slowest in Scotland, and introducing sherry cask maturation to Glengoyne. These changes brought a remarkable amplification of the sweet, fruity characteristics for which Glengoyne is now renowned.
Chapter One has been matured in first fill European oak Oloroso sherry casks, representing those precious sherry casks that Cochrane Cartwright first brought to Glengoyne. The combination of those with our prized refill casks allow the iconic sweet, fruity house style of Glengoyne Distillery, as established by Cartwright, to shine through. Bottled un-chillfiltered at 48%, the Highland Single Malt’s deep amber hue is imparted from time and wood alone.
An exclusive first tasting of this rich and fruity whisky will be held at our ‘Behind the Scenes at Glengoyne Distillery’ event on 16th February, hosted by Gordon Dundas and Stuart Hendry.
The Glengoyne Legacy Series: Chapter One will then be available worldwide and from our online shop from Monday 18th February.
We look forward to hearing what you think!
Sláinte!"
"first fill European oak Oloroso sherry casks in combination with our prized refill casks", NAS, 48%, UCF, noch keine Info zum Preis.
Mal abwarten. Edit: Laut whiskyexperts.net soll er in GB 55 GBP kosten.
Also jetzt wo ich die Flasche gesehn habe, hat ja ne hammer Farbe, schön rötlich, dunkel, first fill european oak halt...
oh... ne halt stop war nur die Verpackung^^ Kleiner Witz meinerseits.
Also die Fakten klangen ganz gut und vorallem sehr sherrylastig. Aktuell glaube ich eher es war nur ein starkes Sherryfass in dem Batch und die Fässer sind nicht älter als 5 Jahre alt. Schade das Glengoyne den No Age Quatsch weitermachen muss. Ich überspringe den hier gerne.
