Glengoyne 10 Year Old is a dependable, well-made Highland whisky aged in both European and American oak casks. The slow distillation and unpeated style give it a gentle, easygoing profile, leaning into soft orchard fruit, clean malt, light toffee sweetness, and restrained spice rather than trying to batter you over the head with cask influence.
Green apple skins, malted biscuits, and soft toffee sweetness lead the way, with a little honey, cut grass, and faint cinnamon sitting underneath. A touch delicate at first, but it opens nicely with time.
Creamy malt, digestive biscuits, and light caramel, balanced by grassy oak, baked apple, and a little liquorice root.
Medium length, sweet and cereal-forward, with gentle oak spice, lingering malt, and a touch of almond skin dryness.
Bought this and the 12 yo after visiting the distillery. The 10 seems a bit immature to me but still an excellent malt. Citrus, honeyed malt and spice. Actually quite hot. The 12 is splendid but on opening has a cabbage note just like the 18 but it soon disappears. 12 yo is 5/5 as is the 18. Both smoother and richer than the 10. An amazing distillery!
A good whiskey to enjoy with friends and family. Love the taste and it's very smooth and aromatic. One of the finest in this range. I must say 1 time every one should try it.
A good solid whisky . Light , sweet and easy on the pallet . Not the best in the Glengoyne range but for the price it’s an excellent whisky which always goes down well with guests. You won’t be disappointed
Not even close to any single malt nor it’s price. Has an awful nose. To make matters worse, really worse, Glengoyne 10 has a rubber cork instead of natural cork and this rubber cork imparts a nasty rubber smell the moment you open it. Once you get that in your nose it is impossible to enjoy rest of the pour. Horrible to say the least. Surprised none have noticed this or may be as its poor overall anyway, no one bothered. Will try to decant the remaining and see if that improves it. Like the sweetish milder taste though... but any day for a dram like this, will stick to Glenmorangie 10
Nose: Tinned sweets by the quart: sour drops. Palate: Hints to burnt butterscotch but instead desways into near sherry wooded notes. Nicely done. After: It declines from the same, and its palate experience gives it permission. Nicely done.
