It's the third installment of Glengoyne's The Legacy Series, and this one celebrates the distillery's original excise manager Sir Arthur John Tedder. Tedder lived on site after taking up the role in 1889, enabling him to keep a keen eye out for any illicit whisky leaving the warehouses! This single malt is bottled from a selection of ex-sherry casks chosen from the Glengoyne warehouses, where they presumably remain under heavy guard by Sir Tedder's predecessors. A delicious reminder of the importance of attention to detail, demonstrated masterfully as ever by the folks at Glengoyne.
Fragrant notes of spiced tea loaf, with juicy honeyed dates and crushed cinnamon, jammy berries, and flaky apple pastries.
Sticky toffee and sweet cinnamon buns, plenty of sherried fruit, baked apple, and poached pear, with creamy malt and buttery oak nestling comfortably beneath.
Oily malt, roasted coffee, and a touch of clove are kept in check by lingering silky caramel and mellow woody spice.
