Glengoyne has always been known as Scotland’s “slowest distilled” single malt, a philosophy that brings remarkable depth and smoothness to every drop. With Cask Strength Batch No.9, the distillery showcases its unadulterated spirit at a powerful 59.6% ABV, celebrating both raw intensity and exceptional balance. Matured in a carefully selected combination of first-fill Oloroso sherry, refill sherry, and bourbon casks, this limited release captures Glengoyne’s hallmark sherry sweetness and fruit-forward elegance, without dilution, colouring, or chill filtration.
