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.
This is a brilliant whisky. One of the very best I have tasted. I do put water in it and it is fine to bring it down to 40%.
Wow, what a punch! When opened up, this whisky displays a massive bomb of salted caramel that is delicious. This is definitely worth a try!
Beautiful. Dried fruit on the nose. Very long finish.
Full bodied with traces of fruit (apples, pears and bananas. Slightly fragrant with spicy tones (pepper). Rich nose after some flat mineral water has been added.
Beautifully done whisky. Perfectly balanced. Has a fair amount of heft as a 59.1%, but it doesn't overpower with the alcohol. I liked it more than batch 008.
