This exceptional Glengoyne 28 Year Old is a rare single cask release, bottled exclusively for the travel retail market. Distilled on 26 October 1995, the whisky spent nearly three decades maturing in a single European oak sherry hogshead (Cask No.2091) before being bottled in 2024 at its natural cask strength of 50.3% ABV.
Glengoyne is renowned for producing unpeated Highland single malt using Scotland’s slowest distillation, allowing the spirit to develop remarkable elegance and complexity. Long maturation in European oak sherry casks enhances the whisky with layers of dried fruit, spice and oak while preserving the distillery’s signature orchard fruit character.
Bottled from a single cask without chill filtration and at natural colour, this exclusive release yielded just 197 individually numbered bottles, making it an exceptionally scarce expression for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
With its extended maturation, single-cask provenance and exclusive availability, this bottling offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Glengoyne’s oldest and most limited modern releases.

Nose
Fresh orchard grapes lead the way, followed by rich molasses, gingerbread and warming baking spices. Delicate oak and gentle nuttiness add depth without overpowering the fruit.
Palate
Rich and sherried with a lively freshness, revealing layers of dried fruits, toasted nuts and soft oak. Sweet spices and hints of tropical fruit provide balance and complexity throughout.
Finish
Long and elegant, with lingering spice, tropical fruit and refined oak character.
Glengoyne
Founded 1833
Glengoyne is one of Scotland’s most picturesque distilleries and is a short trip from Glasgow in Dumgoyne. Originally founded in 1833 as the Burnfoot distillery, this area was a hotbed of illegal distilling, with its glens and abundance of water, crops and fuel sources. It wasn’t until 1905 that Glengoyne was renamed after a spell as Glenguin. Today, the distillery is firmly established thanks to the ownership of Ian Macleod Distillers who took over in 2003 after purchasing the distillery from the Edrington Group. They immediately sought to establish the distillery and build upon its reputation for using sherry casks and being unpeated. Those core principles remain today, although an ex-bourbon cask Glengoyne can be a lovely thing. Just over a million litres are produced annually and this supports a variety of age statements with the 21 year old being a highlight, while many enthusiasts enjoy the robust nature of the Teapot dram.
