We’re delighted to announce an exceptional Glengoyne release; Duncan’s Dram, a limited-edition 17 Year Old Single Cask bottled in honour of Assistant Distillery Manager Duncan McNicoll, who retired in January 2020 after working at the distillery for 43 years.

To mark his many years of service, we asked Duncan to hand-select one cask from the warehouses to be bottled under his name. He picked cask number 561, a 17 Year Old single cask which was distilled on the 24th of April 2002. Only 520 numbered bottles have been produced, and Duncan has rightly been gifted bottle number one.

Duncan joined the distillery one day shy of his 21st birthday. Starting as a mashman, he went on to work as stillman, before being appointed Assistant Distillery Manager. Having worked across all areas of production Duncan has been able to pass on his invaluable knowledge and experience to the next generation of Glengoyne distillers.

The limited-edition single cask bottling was matured in an American Oak sherry butt, imparting a warm toffee colour with aromas of red apples, rosehip syrup, vanilla fudge, and candied lemons on the nose. It has rich, spicy oak on the palate, with flavours of dark brown sugar and lemon marmalade, and a long finish with a burst of fresh pineapple.

We hope you’ll raise a glass of Duncan’s Dram with us to wish him a long and happy retirement. Sláínte, Duncan!

 The 17 Year-Old Cask Bottling costs £189 per bottle and is available for purchase now.
