Glengoyne Winter Solstice Revealed – Scotch Whisky News

In the embrace of the longest night, we find the promise of returning light.

As the shortest day of the year approaches, so does a moment of reflection and celebration. We are delighted to unveil the latest addition to our solstice series: Winter Solstice 2024

Inspired by the depths of Winter, this exclusive single cask release has been drawn from a Glengoyne 2008 European Oak Sherry Hogshead. With a bottling strength of 59.9% ABV and a yield of only 285 bottles, this special release is available exclusively to Glengoyne Family Members at sunset on:

 16th December, 15:44

(Five days prior to Solstice – but in time to arrive before Christmas!)

The tasting notes include a harmony of winter flavours:

Nose – Luxurious vanilla, treacle sponge pudding, chewy toffee, dark chocolate, cinnamon dusting, freshly toasted oak, thyme, dried orange and cherries, stewed peach

Palate – A medley of bright berries and dried fruits, sweet tropical notes, chopped almonds, homemade Christmas cake well-fed with Oloroso sherry, pleasant tannicity, hint of clove and roast coffee

Finish – Long, Oloroso sherry, trail mix, mouthwatering oak, dark chocolate ganache
