A Family Legacy
The Russell Family Cask is an extremely rare Glengoyne Single Cask personally selected by 3 generations of the Ian Macleod Family owners – Peter, Leonard and Tom Russell.
“We are first and foremost a family business, and growing up for me was full of family dinners and conversation flowing, quick wit and healthy debates and the Russell Cask Trilogy brings this to life. The 38 year old is a remarkable dram, and we had no doubt that we needed to bottle it. The series is a special part of our past but releasing it is raising a glass to our future”
– Tom Russell, 4th generation of the Russell Family
