Glengoyne 1967 Christmas Day

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 relaunched it as a single malt brand in the early 1990s, increasing the distribution of the distillery bottlings which first appeared in the 1970s. Glengoyne was sold to Ian Macleod Distillers in 2003.

This is one of a number of Christmas day vintages from the holiday-shy distillery. This one flowed from the stills in 1967 and was bottled in August 1992.

One of 2,500 bottles.
