Introduced in early 2014, this is a 25 year old single malt from the Glengoyne distillery - an addition to their core range. The Highlands distillery uses unpeated malt for this whisky, which is then matured for a quarter of a century in Sherry casks.
Big notes of sherry-soaked fruit up front - raisins, figs and oranges. This is followed by wafts of toasted almonds and classic notes of old leather.
Vanilla and dark chocolate open up the palate. Sherry comes through yet again, but this time in the shape of rich, well spiced fruit cake. Hints of orange and oak round it off.
The finish lasts with notes of red fruits and cracked black pepper.
A very easy dram to get lost in, to take your time with on every step.
Absolutely delicious. I like my whiskies well diluted with water, 50:50, and this was a soft, sweet, malt with sherry notes, satisfying in every way.
Heff you know this the bottle we will decide on. So let’s order it.
Wonderful dram with hints of treacle toffee medium finish, expensive but worth it, glad I saved for the birth of my grandaughter
This dram is a dream, best of best, I had on my old tastebuds, and believe me, I had quite a few. 6 stars!
I’m a big fan of Glengoyne, and this is by far the best I have tasted. Well worth the money.
