[William]

Dumgoyne, October 31st 2006: Today, Glengoyne will officially add three new 70cl Limited Edition Single Cask malts to their award-winning whisky portfolio, as well as their first ever 5cl Single Cask bottling.

Handpicked by a team of experts at Glengoyne and personally approved by the signature of Robbie Hughes, Distillery Manager, the limited edition 21 Years Old, 29 Years Old and 36 Years Old malts launch is to meet the growing demand from Glengoyne enthusiasts keen to discover new and rare expressions from the highly respected distillery. In addition, the 5cl 16 Years Old is expected to appeal to whisky lovers looking for a more affordable but very high quality whisky, and is likely to prove popular for the gift market.

The three single casks vary greatly, ranging from the rich red of the 21 Years Old, which has a sugar and spice nose and palate, to the citrus palate of the Golden 36 Years Old and the fruity 29 Years Old. The 16 Years Old, on the other hand, has a deep copper appearance, marmalade and dark chocolate nose, rich palate and long finish.

These exceptional malts are limited worldwide to 632 bottles of 21 Years Old, 269 bottles of 29 Years Old, 174 bottles of the 36 Years Old and 2496 bottles of the 5cl 16 Years Old. UK recommended retail prices per bottle start at £125 for the 21 Years Old, £249 for the 29 Years Old, £395 for the 36 Years Old and £9.99 for the 5cl 16 Years Old, reflecting their rarity.

Glengoyne "The Real Taste of Malt' is one of the leading premium malt whiskies in the world and has been distilled at Glengoyne distillery since 1833. These new bottles join the award-winning core range, which includes the single malt 10 Years Old, 12 Years Old cask strength, 17 Years Old and 21 Years Old.
