Fresh green apples, toffee and a hint of nuttiness.
This is the taste of distilling slower than anyone else in Scotland, of barley we dry by air – never peat – and of hand-selected sherry casks crafted from European and American oak.
Unlike most other single malts Glengoyne has been preserving the essence of its flavour for decades by using air-dried barley rather than barley dried using harsh peat smoke.
The result is a more subtle, complex whisky in which all of the delicate flavours are freely allowed to express themselves.
Nose: Sweet, with toffee and popcorn aromas and slightly nutty tones coming through.
Palate:Clean, with green apples and hints of sweet liquorice.
Finish: Long, rich finish.
