Nose: Dry, roasted spice, creamy Walnut Whip and milk chocolate provide the backdrop to fruit cake, marmalade and thick treacle. An autumnal forest floor note develops along with bourbon vanilla, toasted oak and dried black cherries.
Palate: Gentle and mature, the palate begins with soft dark fruit, Seville orange and warm gingerbread spiciness. Resinous wax, sweet florals and red chilli pepper heat add interesting depth. Big chewy toffee notes are present throughout.
Finish: Prunes, stewed plums and oak spice remain.
Overall: Remarkable, refined and very stylish stuff from Glengoyne.
