GlenGoyne 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that perfectly balances approachability with genuine complexity?

Glengoyne 12 Year Old represents everything exceptional about Highland whisky craftsmanship. This distinguished expression showcases the distillery’s legendary slow distillation process, taking 4-5 liters per minute to create remarkably smooth, characterful whisky. Unlike many Highland malts such as Deanston Virgin Oak or Glenmorangie 12 Years, Glengoyne’s triple cask maturation in ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and refill oak creates extraordinary depth for an entry-level expression.
