This is release No. 3 in Highland scotch whisky producer Glengoyne's Legacy Series, which debuted in 2019. Each year, The Legacy Series pays homage to a different person who played a key role in the distillery's history.

As for the whisky, this single malt scotch is aged in American oak sherry casks and bottled at 96 proof.
