New Glengoyne 15 Year Old


19th October 2022
Glengoyne launch a new 15 Year Old expression.

Glengoyne 15 Year OldThis latest release from Glengoyne see's the return of a 15 Year Old expression to the Highland distillery's core range line-up.

The new Glengoyne 15 Year Old has been created using Glengoyne's light and fruity signature new make spirit which has been matured for a minimum of 15 years in a combination of 20% first fill bourbon, 25% first fill sherry and 50% refill casks, so there should be no shortage of cask influence on this new Glengoyne 15 Year Old.

The result, Glengoyne tells me, is: "a complex dram that’s recognisably Glengoyne – but seen from a different perspective."

Katy Muggeridge, Brand Director at Ian Macleod Distillers, said: "Glengoyne’s spirit spends three times as long in its stills than other whiskies, and this creates a distinctively light, smooth and fruity spirit style.

"For the 15 Year Old, we wanted to showcase Glengoyne’s signature style brought to maturity in absolute balance from the combination of both bourbon and sherry casks. The first fill maturation gives complex depth, bright tropical notes, and a spicy oak finish whilst the refill casks allow the fruity Glengoyne house style to shine through. It’s an exciting and intriguing Glengoyne dram, with a unique flavour profile."

The new Glengoyne 15 Year Old has been bottled at 43% ABV and is naturally coloured, it has a RRP of £90 and will be available from specialist online whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange, The Whisky Shop, Hard To Find Whisky and Master of Malt
 

Glengoyne 15 Year Old Review


Bottled at 43% ABV, naturally coloured.

Producer's Tasting Notes:

Nose: A rich bouquet of flavours; on the nose you can expect malt flour, fresh hay, dried fruits, citrus and Rosehip.

Taste:  The palate is clean, with a gentle sweetness and a hint of tropical fruit. Cinnamon, vanilla and apple combine to evoke memories of a freshly baked apple pie.

Finish: A pleasant dry finish is complemented by gentle spice and lingering oak.
