New Glengoyne 40 Year Old Expression

Glengoyne Distillery is releasing its oldest, most valuable Highland Single Malt: the Glengoyne 40 Year Old.

The natural strength 40 Year Old Highland Single Malt is regarded by the distillery to be one of the finest whiskies it has ever produced.

Ian Macleod Distillers Marketing Director Iain Weir said: "This is a world class, once in a lifetime bottling. It was essential that the design and presentation of the Glengoyne 40 Year Old Highland Single Malt be a true reflection of its outstanding quality, and reinforces its position as one of the top luxury Limited Edition Single Malts available in the market today.

"The 40 Year Old Single Malt captures the pure essence of Glengoyne, from its heritage and craftsmanship through to its exceptional and unpeated "Real Taste of Malt'. It is a joy to open casks after four decades and find such great balance between malt and Still. It doesn't get any better than this,"? Weir added.

The 40 Year Old expression is contained in a hand-blown Glencairn Crystal decanter, each of which has an individual number engraved in the base, and is decorated by an etching of the Scottish distillery, reflecting up through the malt itself.

The decanter is housed in a lacquered, piano-finished, solid oak wood presentation box, complete with gold plates on the front and hand-stitched cream leather interior.

An accompanying cream leather and gold foil traditionally bound book, signed by Distillery Manager Robbie Hughes, provides tasting notes and detailed background on Glengoyne's history as an independent distillery since 1833.

Just 250 crystal decanters will be available from specialist whisky outlets and in travel retail worldwide, retailing at £3,000.
