Each batch of Glengoyne's marvellous Cask Strength single malt is matured in a selection of refill, oloroso sherry, and bourbon casks, and bottled at cask strength, without chill filtration. It's brimming with generous layers of cakey spice, nutty malt, honeyed fruit, and oaken vanilla.
Soft stone fruits and baked apples with a dusting of nutmeg are joined by creamy vanilla custard and Malted Milk biscuits.
Rounded layers of runny, buttery toffee, and hints of citrus zest open the way for syrupy, fruit-studded flapjack and banana bread.
Mellow oak and biscuity barley linger, with juicy stone fruits, tangy citrus, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Very good!
The "Best" cask S I have had!
Great whisky
Me team bought me this for Christmas and all I can say is wow, wow, wow! Powerful strength, but balanced amazingly with the hit of sherry essence and hints of biscuits (as described). You will not be disappointed!
Sherry, almost nutty on the nose. Fruit n spice, more sherry, on the front palate. A note of menthol, almost medicinal at the back. Long, woody, bitter finish. Damn good whisky, but second to the Glenfarclas 105 in my opinion. The Christmas cake flavor profile is not quite so knockout as in the 105, not as much spice and richness.
