This single cask bottling of a 19-year-old Glengoyne single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as a Single Cask Limited Edition. The whisky was distilled in 1987, matured in a butt and was bottled in 2006 in 720 individually numbered bottles.
The distillery now called Glengoyne (roughly: Valley of the Wild Geese) is more than 200 years old, but it was only in 1833 that alcohol was legally produced under the name Burnfoot of Dumgoyne. The Lang brothers from Glasgow bought the distillery in 1876 and renamed it in 1905. Today it is owned by Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. and is one of the few independent Scottish family-owned distilleries.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
