Description

Nose
Luscious Tiramisu made with chocolate sponge soaked in espresso, dark cherries soaked in Madeira. Kumquat and crystalised ginger.
Palate
Heavily polished ancestral furniture with the richness of PX sherry. Bitter dark chocolate and warm pigskin gloves. Dried mango, Ras el Hanout and paprika.
Finish
Cocoons the tongue with velvet.
Comment
It feels old but not fragile.

Annabel Meikle - Whisky Magazine Issue 123 Nose
Wintery and bold notes aplenty. Toasted nuts, figs, spicy red fruit, possibly a glass or two of vintage port too. Postprandial indeed.
Palate
Mouthcoating, dry, but fruity, spicy and rich. A monster of a palate, with a blast of orange zest for good measure. The oak has given this perfect ageing and complexity.
Finish
Lengthy and spicy. The richness of the nose is amplified here and seems to last for ages.
Comment
I'm all for drinking light and refreshing whiskies as a highball or with ice; but adulterate this gem and I'll come looking for you. Magnificent.

About this SPIRIT

Glengoyne Distillery, Highlands

Glengoyne Distillery, Highlands

Highland Single Malt Whisky has been produced at the Glengoyne distillery since 1833. The distillery takes its name from 'Glen Guin' or Glen of the Wild Geese, a glen which during the 18th century boasted 18 illicit whisky stills.

Glengoyne Distillery lies close to Loch Lomond, at the edge of the Campsie Fells. It is situated beneath the Dumgoyne Hill from which soft spring water flows from a waterfall almost straight into the distillery.

Geographically, the distillery lies on the Highland line which divides the Highland and Lowland regions of malt whisky production. As a result of the mild climate and the soft water, the style of the Glengoyne Single Malts tends to be almost Lowland in character.

This style is enhanced by the fact that no pungent peat is used at any stage of the Glengoyne distillation process. The result is a pure, engaging single malt whisky in which all the delicate apple and sherry flavours are allowed to express themselves.
