Cask of the Moment: 13yo Pedro Ximénez Single Cask No. 973
Glengoyne 2008 PX Single Cask Limited Release
An online limited release of just 261 bottle, this 2008 special release has all the hallmarks of full maturation in a Pedro Ximenez Hogshead. Deep amber in colour, spice and oak revealing layers of rich dark chocolate nuttiness with a very long finish of stewed apples and cinnamon. A rewarding dram.
Specially selected by the Glengoyne Distillery team as our Cask of the Moment, Cask 973 was bottled as a 13 Year Old in 2021. The cask remained in the warehouse and continued to mature until August of this year, so it has now been bottled at Glengoyne itself with a label signed by hand by one of our distillery team. This limited-edition bottling truly is a stunning example of Glengoyne’s unhurried approach to whisky-making.
