its a big teapot for 7 casks to fit in

Following the story, they couldn't drink seven casks of their daily rations - it was all generously offered to the visitors.

I see it is available online direct from the distillery website, I had the 1st and 2nd Teapot Dram and they were very good big sherried drams.

It is a nice earner for Glengoyne, 3178 bottles at £90 each and an age range of around 8 to 11 years in the mix. I have to say the ones I have tried have been very good particularly if you like the big sherried dram

Most people love it and in the distillery are very proud of it.
IMO this is good Glengoyne but a bit too young and not overly complex. I bought a bottle (£90) in the distillery but probably will not buy another one.
Actually, as NAS edition, in situation where other producers are dumping much younger casks into the mix, this is excellent, high quality malt, although too expensive (approximately at the same time Deanston introduced excellent new 18 yo for £80).

Cheers Diademo, I don't think they show the details on the Glengoyne website. I have had the first 3 Teapot Drams and they have all been cracking young sherried whiskies so far, I hope this one is a good one.

My father worked in the Kinclaith distillery (although he referred to it as working at Long Johns) in the days when they used to dram the workers. He didn't drink his drams either, but he didn't pour them into a teapot, he brought them home in a milk bottle every day and poured them into a whisky bottle or gave them away.
