Launched in May 2009 only 250 decanters of this rare malt were bottled, each in a Glencairn Crystal hand-blown decanter, individually numbered with an etching of the distillery.

These are presented in an 11-times lacquered piano-finished oak presentation box, embellished with gold plates on the front and hand-stitched cream leather interior. Each decanter comes with a dark brown leather and gold foil bound book signed by the Distillery manager, Robbie Hughes and containing tasting notes and background information on Glengoyne.

Complex, integrated, dry palate has black cherry, coffee, fruitcake/rancio notes with wafts of smoke, dried hops and just enough oaky garnish.

Long dry finish has smoky fresh lemon thyme/grapefruit notes.
