Glengoyne 18 Year Old Review & Tasting Notes
The
Glengoyne 18 year old replaces the very
popular 17 year old in October 2012. It
is an upgrade of the 17 year old which
has basically spent an extra year
maturing.
The Glengoyne 18 year old contains a
higher portion of first fill Sherry
casks producing a deliciously rich,
mouth-coating whisky. Spicy vanilla
fruit, ripe apples and a rich, luxurious
mouth feel.
Wonderfully ripe fruit and spicy fruit.
The effects of the copper stills and oak
casks jostle for prominence, but neither
succeed. This is a supremely well
balanced whisky.
Bottled at 43% ABV (40% ABV in travel
retail) and has no added
colouring.

Colour:
Medium gold with a rich glow.
Nose:
A wash with red apple, ripe melon and
fresh banana. Heavenly and well rounded,
it drifts into hot porridge topped with
brown sugar.

Full bodied, round and rich. At first
macerated fruits, marzipan and walnuts;
then warm spices, dry cocoa and
lingering Seville marmalade.
Finish:
Long, warm and dry.
