# Festive Vintage Whiskies Glengoyne Releases a 2013 Pedro Ximénez Cask Edition of 9,000 Bottles By Adam Harrie | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-11-12 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-vintage-whiskies References: [retailtimes](https://retailtimes.co.uk/glengoyne-launches-2013-vintage-pedro-ximenez-cask-edition)  Glengoyne brought [festive vintage whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/served-with-character) to buyers with its ‘2013 Vintage Pedro Ximénez Cask Edition,’ a release built for seasonal gifting and winter pours. The Scotch whisky is shaped by fully matured first-fill [Pedro Ximénez casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-masters-anthology-whiskey) layered onto the distillery’s classic sherry wood profile. The bottling comes at 47.7% ABV and is limited to just 9,000 bottles. Availability starts on Nov. 11, 2026, across select international markets and through UK specialist retailers, the Glengoyne Distillery Shop and Glengoyne.com. Glengoyne shows how a [rare vintage release](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-glen-grant-splendours-collection) can turn wood selection into the main point of difference, not just the age statement alone, while the festive flavor profile gives the brand a clear seasonal angle that fits gifting, after-dinner service and winter retail displays without changing the core whisky format.
