Glengoyne 18 Year Old
Glengoyne 18 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
70cl 43% vol (40% Travel retail)
Spicy vanilla fruit, ripe apples and a rich, luxurious mouthfeel. This is the result of 18 long years and a generous proportion of first-fill sherry casks. And of the patience we take over the slowest distillation in Scotland.
'Glengoyne has, to my palate, a distinctively 'fresh malt' character; smooth and rounded; a sweetish start, with a hint of fruitiness, and some malty dryness in the finish.
Tasting Notes
| Appearance: | Medium gold with a rich glow. |
|---|---|
| Nose: | Awash with red apple, ripe melon and fresh banana. Heavenly and well rounded, it drifts into hot porridge topped with brown sugar. |
| Initial taste: | Full bodied, round and rich. At first macerated fruits, marzipan and walnuts; then warm spices, dry cocoa and lingering Seville marmalade. |
| Finish: | Long, warm and dry. |
| Comments: | Remarkable depth. Each glass unveils more layers. |
