Glengoyne has unveiled its 2013 Vintage Pedro Ximénez Cask Edition, a limited bottling of 9,000 units at 47.7% ABV. The Highland single malt goes on sale on November 11, 2026, at a recommended retail price of £70 (US$92 / ₹7,700) across selected international markets and UK specialist retailers.
The whisky is also available from the Glengoyne Distillery Shop and online at Glengoyne.com.
Vintage releases are uncommon for the distillery, and the brand describes the few that exist as “historic bottlings”. A vintage means every cask in the release was distilled in the same year, which for this edition is 2013.

READ THE STORYThe recipe combines classic Glengoyne casks, both first-fill sherry and refill sherry, enhanced with fully matured first-fill Pedro Ximénez casks.
According to the brand, its slow distillation produces an open, fruity new make spirit that allows the influence of the wood to come through. Like all Glengoyne releases, the whisky carries natural color drawn from time and wood alone.
The Pedro Ximénez casks lend the whisky what the brand calls a “distinctly Christmas character”, with sweetness, festive fruit, warming spice and treacle toffee. Glengoyne positions it as a dram for the festive season, whether poured by the fire, shared after Christmas dinner or given as a gift.

Glengoyne Distillery is owned by one of Scotland’s leading independent, family-owned distillers, Ian Macleod Distillers.
The distillery, which sits on the Highland Line north of Glasgow, is known for sherry-cask maturation and runs a combination of long fermentations, while distillation in its three stills is extremely slow.
