Glengoyne 18 Year 50ml

This item is archived.

Glengoyne takes pride in having one of the slowest distillations in Scotland, producing one of the most delicate spirits. The 18 year is produced from a high proportion of single malts matured exclusively in First Fill Ex-Sherry casks. Bottled at 40%.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: loads of Christmas cake, Eatmore (the candy bar), Judy's nutty chocolate fudge, grilled figs and moist date squares; very soft spices (cinnamon and cardamom), dark chocolate and soft old leather; thick with some tobacco, caramel apple and candied nuts.

Palate: big, rich, fruity and oily with more Christmas cake and Eatmore candy bars; more smooth old leather leads into gentle spices and fruity tobacco; lots of dried dark fruits, a hint of unburnt salty bacon, earthy dunnage warehouse notes and medium dark chocolate;

Finish: long, rich, coating, earthy and subtly spicy with more smooth old leather, tobacco, Christmas cake and cold tea.

Comment: the only thing I don't like about this whisky is the 43%abv; I know lots of you are still lamenting the loss of the classic old Macallan 18 Year; why not look for solace in this better priced 18 year old; it won't disappoint.
