Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has unveiled the latest batch of its coveted Teapot Dram - Batch No. 009.
As our most popular limited edition range, the Teapot Dram tells the story of an old distillery tradition where workers would be given three fingers of whisky, three times a day.
Most distilleries would give workers new-make spirits, hot off the stills. But Glengoyne would always ensure the team were given tumblers filled with whisky from first-fill sherry casks.
The less-seasoned members of the distillery team would, to save face, discreetly pour some of their untouched drams into a copper teapot which sat on the canteen windowsill, ready for their older colleagues to enjoy later.
Honouring this tradition, the Teapot Dram has remained a deliberately bold, sherry matured limited release ever since its launch. Batch No. 9 is matured exclusively in first fill European and American oak sherry casks and bottled at 58.9% ABV.
On the nose, Batch No. 009 provides warming, decadent apple strudel with almond flakes, chocolate coated raisins, and hints of creme caramel. To taste, rich and velvety, sticky toffee pudding with dates and spices from cinnamon and cloves, hints of dark berries and dried fruits from the sherry cask. To finish, the latest Teapot Dram has a rich mouthfeel with more rich sherry notes and refreshing tropical fruits.
