Scottish oak presents particular challenges for whisky maturation due to its porous character, encouraging greater interaction between the spirit and the wood. For this limited edition, Glengoyne’s 17-year-old whisky receives its final stage of maturation in virgin Scottish oak casks, with each cask assessed individually and the finishing period carefully tailored.

The virgin Scottish oak is sustainably sourced from woodland surrounding Killearn, just a few miles from Glengoyne Distillery. The finish brings greater structure, warming spice and subtle oak character while retaining Glengoyne’s naturally fruity style, with notes of heather honey, orchard fruit, toasted oak and vanilla leading to a long, gently spiced finish.

Part of the Oak Masters’ Series, this release explores the influence of rare native Scottish oak while connecting the whisky closely to the landscape surrounding the distillery. The packaging illustration takes inspiration from the Scottish Colourists and the Scottish landscape from which the oak was sourced.

Nose Heather honey and lime open into stewed pear, raspberries and almond, complemented by layers of tropical fruit.

Palate Toasted oak and fresh fruit are joined by oat and raisin cookies, smooth vanilla, warming ginger and a hint of nutmeg.
