The launch this month now introduces Tamdhu Single Cask and the Glengoyne “Spirit of Oak Collection”
Consumers are now able to select from an extended range of award winning GTR exclusive expressions, namely: Tamdhu Ámbar 14 year old, Tamdhu Gran Reserva First Edition and the newly added Tamdhu Single Cask. The latter is the latest to be exclusively with World Duty Free at Edinburgh Airport, with only 597 bottles available and travellers receive a Victorian style tasting glass with every bottle of Tamdhu purchased.
Shoppers seeking a Highland Single Malt can now also choose from the travel retail exclusive Glengoyne "Spirit of Oak" Collection. This includes two expressions, Glengoyne Cuartillo and Glengoyne Balbaína, as well as two limited edition, high-end expressions, Glengoyne Pedro Xíménez Cask Finish and the very scarce Glengoyne 28 Year Old. Those spending over £50 will receive a box of luxury handmade chocolates from double winner of the World’s Best Truffles, Iain Burnett – The Highland Chocolatier, which have been specially selected to perfectly complement each Glengoyne Spirit of Oak expression.
Ian Macleod Distillers is showcasing its single malt expertise in its largest ever activation, which features Tamdhu and Glengoyne single malt whiskies with World Duty Free at Edinburgh Airport this month.
During the June whisky festival, Tamdhu and Glengoyne hold a key space in the store with a stunning feature wall, two tasting and education areas and two high quality bespoke gifts with purchase.
