Glengoyne Teapot Dram Batch #11 1st Fill Oloroso Matured Limited Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2025) 70cl The next instalment of the yearly sell-out wonder from Glengoyne. 1 of 3500 bottles produced from 1st Fill Sherry Casks. Glengoyne workers in the 60s and 70s used to be given 3 fingers of whisky at 9am, 12pm and 3pm. This used to keep them happy and for some, nicely drunk on the distillery's own product. In comes Employment Law in the 1980s and bans this practise. Leftover whisky was kept in teapots and stored for later on. Some stories even include scaffolders helping themselves to the 1st fill sherried whisky leading to accidents on the work in progress showing the risks of drinking on the job. Especially young (ish) high proof whisky. Every year this sells out even faster so get yours whilst you can because in about 1 months time, there won't be any more. Glengoyne Teapot Dram Batch No. 11 is the latest chapter in one of the distillery’s most beloved series. Bottled at a robust 59.7% ABV and matured exclusively in first-fill sherry casks, this limited edition offers a rich, indulgent taste of Glengoyne history. The Teapot Dram series celebrates a unique Glengoyne tradition from the 1960s and early ’70s, when distillery workers were given three drams a day. Younger staff, unable to keep pace, would pour their share into a copper teapot on the canteen windowsill for seasoned colleagues to enjoy. This practice ended in 1974, but its spirit lives on in these rich, sherry-matured releases. Now in its 11th edition, Teapot Dram has become one of Glengoyne’s most sought-after series. Each batch is crafted to reflect the bold, full-flavoured style enjoyed during the dramming days. Batch No. 11 is made from nine first-fill sherry casks - five butts and four hogsheads - and brings a sweeter, more indulgent profile than previous releases, while retaining the depth and complexity that define Teapot Dram. TASTING NOTES Nose: Dates, dark chocolate, lemon meringue, grilled peach, toasted nuts, dry sherry, and a wisp of incense. Palate: Cherries, strawberry ice cream, blackberry jam, gingerbread, fudge, hazelnut spread, and dried apricot. Layers of sweetness balanced by oak tannins and subtle spice. Finish: Long and evolving. Maraschino liqueur, Eton Mess, summer berries, and a gentle dryness with hints of plum skin and dark fruit.
