Glengoyne 12 Year Old Review & Tasting Notes
 The Glengoyne 12 year old was added to
the Glengoyne core range of single malts
in 2009 and is now a well established
whisky within the range.
Like all of Glengoyne’s Single Malts,
the 12 year old is distilled from
air-dried barley, untainted by harsh
peat smoke. Bottled at 43% strength,
with a natural, golden colour, the 12
year old has scents of coconut oil,
lemon zest, honey and dried malt. With a
warming mouthfeel, its initial palate is
of toffee apples and cinnamon spice,
while a touch of water brings out
ginger, fresh orange and shortbread. The
balanced finish is further mellowed by
hints of sherry and soft oak.
Glengoyne Distillery manager, Robbie
Hughes told us that this expression
introduces some first fill bourbon
barrels that aren’t used in any other
Glengoyne expression. The sherry
percentage also differs. The Core is
select refill American Oak and European
oak casks. A healthy percentage of first
fill sherry casks are used allowing us
to bottle at natural colour, as with all
Glengoyne products, and first fill
Hogsheads make up a significant
percentage of this vatting, adding
different elements of flavour in
comparison to other Glengoyne products.
