Other casks in the recipe include first-fill European and American oak Oloroso sherry casks and refill casks.

“The Bourbon parcel we used in the distillation of Glengoyne Cask Strength Batch No.007 brought in a sweetness and a burst of vanilla, which adds a roundness and depth to this sherry-dominant whisky,” said Glengoyne malt master John Glass. “The Bourbon plays a light, but important part in the overall cask recipe.”

Earlier this year, the distiller launched The Glengoyne Legacy Series: Chapter One – a no-age-statement single malt.
