What's in a name? Glengoyne 17 Year Old whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Glengoyne 17 Year Old whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Plummy, cherry liqueurs, sweet, rounded.Palate: Very fruity, red currants, barley, red fruit sweetness.Finish: Very sweet finish, a tad dry.
The Master of Malt
Dense and fruity with a sweet finish
I love this whisky. The fruit hits you on the nose and keeps coming. There's a real intensity to it, and the finish has a sort of biscuity sweetness. It's like a cherry cheesecake.
Smooth and sweet
I'm a big fan of this whisky too. I love the smoothness and the sweet treacle finish. Highly recommended
so smooth
Amazing whisky, fantastically smooth. Superb distillery tour as well!
Worth a visit to Drumgoyne in itself
One of the very best whiskies I've ever tried - if you're not so much a fan of the medicinal smokey island malts, this soft, fruity, rich and warm masterpiece with hints of honey and caramel will be a winner. As the other reviewer says, the distillery tour is great; better mid week. Dont leave without a bottle of this bad boy! The guides wear awesome wee tartan skirts too. Not that that is any reason to go, of course.
