Glengoyne15YearOldSingleMalt(700mL)

<p>A bright and fresh Glengoyne Single Malt that brings you as close to the grain as possible.</p><p>Originally called “Burnfoot Distillery,” <em>George Connell</em> officially started <em>Glengoyne</em> in <em>1833</em> — after the <em>Excise Tax Law</em> of <em>1823</em> made it cost effective to do so. The fact that good old George had been hauling full casks of Whisky out of the tree-lined glen since 1820 is <em>purely a coincidence</em>. Anyway, the point is that they have been making Single Malt Whisky here for a long time. Famously, they say the Glengoyne distilling process takes longer than any other in Scotland in order to deliver their <em>unique richness</em> and<em> character</em>.</p><p><em>Glengoyne 15 Year Old Single Malt</em> has an interesting twist to its story. The aging formula is straight forward — <em>fifteen years</em> in a combination of <em>ex-Bourbon</em>, <em>ex-Sherry</em>, and <em>refill</em> casks. But the twist comes at the beginning where the malted barley is<em> air dried</em>. Not peat, no burners, no gas, just air. That process is a LOT slower then modern powered drying machines or any sort. But thats the point. You are not only tasting a well-aged, balance dram of Single Malt wonderfulness, you are sipping a <em>more pure expression</em> of the grain itself… and we think that it’s pretty cool.</p>
