Glengoyne 16: Mizunara Oak

About This Competition

Released as part of the Glengoyne Oak Masters’ Series, this limited edition 16-year-old whisky was first aged for 10 years in first-fill Sherry and refill casks, and then finished in Mizunara oak from Hokkaido for its last six years.

The expression marks the third edition in the series, following the White Oak and White Oak 24-year-old releases.

The single malt utilises Mizunara, a rare Japanese oak type described as ‘notoriously difficult to work with’.  This has resulted in notes that see aromas of vanilla, sweet toffee, sandalwood and incense, while on palate, spices, coconut, green apples and liquorice are displayed.

Glengoyne Mizunara Oak is offered at 53.4% ABV and has a recommended retail price of £300
