Glengoyne 21 Years

With older age the fruitiness and intensity of the Glengoyne increases. The aroma is ruled by ripe fruits which are harmoniously combined with notes of oak from the casks.

Nosing: Sherry Dried Fruit Apple Berries Tobacco
Immediately sherry. Then dried fruits and fresh apple and red berries. There is also a sort of herbal/tobacco note. This definitely needs to sit in the glass for 10-15 mins to open up. It is very tight initially but given time becomes quite pungent.

Taste: Berries Oak Cinnamon
Sweet arrival, dark berries, sherry and underlying wood tartness. Sweet cinnamon spiciness, transitions into sour fruits, cherries.

Finish: Sherry Spices
Medium to long, the fruitiness diminishes, leaving a spicy finish, cloves and cinnamon.

Comment:
I got this as something to take home and share with my brother and dad at christmas. I'm totally satisfied in the selection, it really is a great special occasion malt. There's quality in the presentation throughout, and while it is fairly expensive, it definitely delivers for the price. Top marks.

Nosing: Sherry Dried Fruit Fig Nuts Honey Chocolate Cake

Taste: Spices Nutmeg Clove Cinnamon Sherry Fig Hazelnut christmas cake and spices

Finish: Orange Sherry Spices Clove spices fade after a minute.

Comment: I often hear Glengoyne as a replacement for Macallan, but I don't think it is. It is a great whisky in it's own right. Wish it was at a higher ABV, but still a great complex sherried whisky.
