Bottled at 61.1% ABV, it packs a punch, whilst delivering elegance. This exceptional whisky expression has been crafted from a select refill Sherry Butt No. 190257, which was filled on 8 June 2009. The Master Distiller selected this as the refill aspect echoes Glengoyne\u2019s environmental credentials. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><i>The Glengoyne Wetlands Single Cask Release <\/i><span style=\"color: #000000;\">will be available at the Glengoyne Distillery store, through <\/span><span style=\"color: #467886;\"><u><a title=\"Protected by Outlook: http:\/\/www.glengoyne.com\/.

It was one of the first casks to be filled after the company decided to place a strong environment sustainability programme at the heart of its operations. As a result, Glengoyne has been able to support a range of programmes as part of its exclusive WWT whisky partnership including the Blue Recovery Fund, the Wetlands Can! Campaign and sponsorship of the WWT Caerlaverock Reserve, as well as funding the restoration of an important bird hide, now named The Glengoyne Hide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/app.prmax.co.uk\/collateral\/223546.png\" width=\"133\" height=\"346\" name=\"x_Picture\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" data-imagetype=\"External\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>Katie Burns from Glengoyne said<\/b>: \u201cOur exclusive whisky partnership with the WWT has a natural synergy with Glengoyne, derived from Glen Guin, or \u2018valley of the geese\u2019 as the charity\u2019s work supports the environment in which these geese, and other wildfowl, thrive. After a dozen years of successfully partnering with the charity, we are delighted to continue to support the WWT\u2019s invaluable work. The Wetlands Can!
