Ian Macleod Distillers has released a 16-year-old Glengoyne single malt. A limited release matured in rare wood native to Hokkaid\u014d, the northernmost prefecture in Japan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For ten years, classic first-fill sherry and refill casks laid the foundation. Then, for six long years, Mizunara Oak did its quiet work – infusing the spirit with whispers of sandalwood, soft vanilla, and spring blossom.<\/p>\n

Matured in the Highlands, shaped by Japanese oak, and bottled at 53.4% ABV, this 16 Year Old release is the third in our Oak Masters\u2019 Series, a celebration of the world’s finest oaks. With just 3,195 bottles available worldwide.<\/p>\n

Already awarded Double Gold at the International Spirits Challenge 2025.<\/p>\n

Tasting notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nose: Soft vanilla and sweet toffee, layered with sandalwood and hints of Japanese incense.
\nPalate: Warming spices, coconut, crisp green apples, and a whisper of liquorice.
\nFinish: Long, luxurious, and floral, reminiscent of cherry blossom on a spring breeze.<\/p>\n
