50 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Today, we are thrilled to launch our oldest ever expression – the Glengoyne 50 Year Old Highland Single Malt.

Priced at £22,500, the limited-edition single malt is the pinnacle of our unhurried and uncompromising approach to whisky making, as Scotland’s slowest distilled malt. After five decades patiently maturing, this exceptional whisky has a richness and depth of aromas and flavours rarely encountered.

Glengoyne 50 Year Old comes in a special crystal decanter, which features an engraved goose emblem representing the geese who migrate to the Glen each winter. Hidden within the beautiful solid oak and gold display box is also a 25ml sample of the 50 Year Old whisky, as well as individually numbered books which are hand signed by Robbie Hughes, Glengoyne Distillery Manager.
