A rare treat has arrived at Howies Victoria Street.

Our whisky collection corner is now home to a single bottle of Glengoyne 21 Year Old. Just one bottle. When it's gone, it's gone.

Renowned for its famously slow production process, this award-winning Highland whisky is packed with notes of fresh coffee, spiced apples, and rich butterscotch.

The ultimate after-dinner dram.
