Glengoyne 1972 Single Cask 31 Year Old #2970

Built in 1833, what is now known as Glengoyne is a Highland distillery so close to the Lowland region border that its warehouses across the road actually fall into the latter geographical category. The distillery was owned by the Lang Brothers for 89 years, who used it as provision for their blends. In that time it was also important to those of Robertson & Baxter, who would eventually acquire the site in 1966, a move that would eventually bring it into the hands of the Edrington company, who launched it as a single malt brand in the early 1990s, although occasional distillery bottlings had previously been produced. Glengoyne was sold to Ian Macleod Distillers in 2003.

This whisky was distilled in September 1972 and laid to rest in single cask #2970 for 31 years before being bottled in October 2003.

One of 510 bottles.
