Glengoyne Mizunara wins Trophy award – Scotch Whisky News


A Rare Honour for a Rare Whisky
A Patient Masterpiece
We’re incredibly proud to share that Glengoyne Mizunara Oak has been awarded a Trophy Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2025 – one of only 9 trophies awarded out of 450 Scotch whisky entries this year.
The ISC Trophy Medal is based purely on taste, and assessed by a panel of judges within the industry in a blind tasting set up. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the craft, character and innovation behind this exceptional expression.
A whisky that’s as rare as the award itself. Matured in Glengoyne’s classic first-fill sherry and refill casks for ten years, then further matured for six long years in rare Mizunara Oak.

A Patient Masterpiece
Nose
Soft vanilla and sweet toffee, laced with sandalwood and hints of Japanese incense.
Palate
Warming spices, coconut, crisp green apples, and a whisper of liquorice.
Finish
Long, luxurious, and floral, like cherry blossom carried on a spring breeze.
Presented at 53.4% ABV, this 16 Year Old single malt whisky offers depth, complexity, and quiet poise.
Rooted in tradition. Raised in oak.
Slàinte Mhath,
Robbie Hughes
Distillery Manager
