Glengoyne 17 Year Old

I offered a Brazilian friend a choice of £100 worth of fertiliser for his cacau trees or on bottle of 17 year old Glengoyne. He chose Glengoyne as he said he will never have the opportunity again to taste such a fine whisky.
P.S I live in Brazil.

Too much alcohol on the nose and finish, for being just 43.0%
Not surprised it has been discontinued.

Lumber and toffee all around. Not very complex: none of the fruits promised in the description. But smooth and drinkable.

My wife and I and our two so s, from California, just visited Glengoyne a few days ago. Sasha gave us a fine tour and we did the tasting. I became a fan of this whiskey. We bought a few bottles for gifts and for ourselves. Saha took a photo of us in Front of the distillery. It was such a nice photo that I use it on my Facebook page. Great place. Great whiskey.

I found this whisky to be a tad spicy for my liking, benefits from a small teaspon of water. Still a decent drop, but probably would not buy again.

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.

Amazing whisky, fantastically smooth. Superb distillery tour as well!

I'm a big fan of this whisky too. I love the smoothness and the sweet treacle finish. Highly recommended

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.
