Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 513: Glengoyne 12 Year Old 2010 Cask Owner for The Glen Connection
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries a single cask from Glengoyne. Some Belgian friends visit the Glengoyne distillery, enjoy both an extensive tour and a so-called blending masterclass afterwards and immediately decide to participate in the (now no longer active) Cask Owner’s Programme. They carefully choose a PX hogshead and pay for 10 years of warehousing in advance. This is 2010. The intention was to bottle the cask at 11 years, but the pandemic put a stop to that. In the end, the three (Koen, Charly and Glenn) had to wait until June 2023 before their cask #1837 was bottled. It yielded 318 bottles. The cask strength of 56.3% is impressive, but especially the deep bronze color immediately appeals to the imagination. Mark was blown away by this malt!
