The finest Sherry Casks are left almost entirely to their own devices for 30 years. Almost, but not quite.
Twice, perhaps three times in three decades, the Malt Master will taste this ongoing alchemy of cask and spirirt. His aim: to hand-select only the best sherry oak casks.
A small wooden bung is all that stands in his way; in the cool of the warehouse, he eases it from the cask. Has each decade addes deep colour, intense flavour and limitless complexity to the precious contents? He holds a dram to the light, swirls it beneath his nos, takes a sip - then records his judgement. Only the best can become Glengoyne 30 year old.
Typically just 13 casks a year will bear the name.
