Following the Glengoyne’s Mashmen range last year, the distillery’s manager and two of its warehousemen have now been given the chance to prove that they are equally skilled when it comes to choosing, what they think is the perfect whisky.

Robert (Robbie) Hughes, Glengoyne’s distillery manager has chosen a wee Ruby Port oak cask (we only ever had the one) for his choice and comments, “The result is pure pleasure. This is a topaz coloured whisky that tastes of chocolate cherries with rich oak and peppery dried fruits”

Warehouseman William (Billy) Edmiston’s dram is packed with sherry, crème brulee and chocolate.

Finally Derrick (‘Deek’) Morrison, another warehouseman who has worked at Glengoyne for over 30 years, has opted for a cask that is rarely released, a young challenger. “Light, fruity and fragrant, this is like walking through a field of ripe barley.

Recommended UK retail prices (in the region of) are Robbie’s Choice £240, Billy’s Choice £130 and Deek’s Choice £67 per bottle.
