Glengoyne
Scotland
Single Malt
From the sublime Spirit of Oak range (originally released for the Travel Retail market) comes Cuartillo, another super sherry-aged single malt from Glengoyne which was named after the rural neighbourhood, or pagos*, in Jerez, Spain.
The first in the series of four bottlings, this bottling was based around whisky drawn from American oak Oloroso sherry casks, bottled without any additional colouring at 40% ABV.
*If you're as cultured as moi**.
**Wait, that's French, isn't it?
Toffee apples, a little acacia honey and toasted barley initially, with dried peels and soft spice in the background.
The palate begins with creamy vanilla, nectarines in syrup and spice and a touch of espresso. Butterscotch, stem ginger and chocolate orange bring depth.
An oily finish concludes with a little oak spice.

It might be a NAS, but its better than the aged Glencoyne's I've had. A complete left field surprise.
