The Glengoyne Distillery proudly unveils the latest edition of the esteemed Russell Family Cask collection – a 38-Year-Old Single Malt matured in a first-fill American oak sherry butt, bottled at an impressive 56.8% ABV. With only 241 bottles available worldwide, this is a rare masterpiece crafted to celebrate the heritage of the Russell Family and their unwavering dedication to the art of Scotch Whisky.
A Tribute to Generational Craftsmanship
Cask #915 has been unanimously selected by three generations of the Russell Family, owners and custodians of Glengoyne Distillery. This family’s passion for excellence is evident in every sip, as this extraordinary whisky embodies their commitment to quality and their cherished legacy in the whisky world.
