The Glengoyne 36yo Russell Family Cask is an exquisite single malt whisky that has been meticulously aged for 36 years in a single refill sherry butt. This remarkable cask was personally selected by three generations of the Russell family, who are the proud owners of Ian MacLeod Distillers and the Glengoyne distillery. Limited to just 402 bottles, this release stands as one of the oldest and most refined offerings ever presented by Glengoyne.
Distilled in 1984 and bottled in 2021, this whisky boasts a robust ABV of 50.7%. It is presented without chill filtration, ensuring the preservation of its natural character and cask-imparted color. The journey of this whisky began during a Sunday lunch at Peter Russell's house, where Tom Russell introduced several samples for the Glengoyne Single Cask. This particular cask stood out for its unparalleled quality and was unanimously chosen by three generations of the Russell family for bottling, making it a true celebration of their collaboration and legacy.
The aroma of the Glengoyne 36yo is a harmonious bouquet of dried banana chips, tropical fruits, cinnamon, cherry, and lemon. On the palate, it delivers a symphony of flavors, including cherry, dark chocolate, cinnamon, banana, and mango, all balanced with creamy sherry spice. The finish is long, silky, and rich, with a charming dustiness that lingers, evidencing the perfect union between the cask and the spirit over three decades.
This whisky is special because it was carefully selected by three generations of the Russell family and is one of the oldest whiskies ever released by Glengoyne. It offers a unique taste profile that reflects the long maturation period and exceptional quality of the cask.
Only 402 bottles of this limited edition whisky were released, adding to its exclusivity and desirability among collectors and connoisseurs.
No, this whisky is presented free from chill filtration, which helps preserve its full natural character and flavor.
The Glengoyne 36yo Russell Family Cask is a testament to the art of whisky making and the dedication of the Russell family. Its intricate flavors, long maturation, and limited availability make it a treasure for any whisky enthusiast. The meticulous selection process and the harmonious marriage of spirit and cask result in a whisky that is as rich in history as it is in taste.
