The Glengoyne 24 Year Old White Oak stands out as a distinct expression within the Glengoyne range, primarily matured in first fill bourbon and virgin American oak casks. This choice of maturation imparts a lighter natural color and emphasizes the sweeter, more intense flavours characteristic of these woods, setting it apart from the historically sherry-dominated profiles of older Glengoyne expressions. Ideal for whisky enthusiasts looking to explore a cask-led taste that still resonates with the Glengoyne house style, this whisky is priced slightly below the 25 year old, offering a unique and rich flavour profile that provides a fascinating contrast when tasted side by side with its older counterpart.
