2007 Douglas Laing & Co. Single Minded Glengoyne 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Single Minded is yet another tier in Douglas Laing’s range, in this case charmingly packaged with colour banding differentiating the various whisky regions of Scotland. This eight year old Glengoyne was drawn from a single hogshead cask. Distilled in April 2007 and bottled in September 2016.

Glengoyne is now the only distillery that continues to use majority Golden Promise barley and one of a dwindling few to completely avoid peat. The resulting whisky lets the purity of the barley take centre stage, positioning Glengoyne firmly at one end of the malt whisky spectrum - relatively light bodied, but with surprising depth and a trademark grassy / fruity interplay that’s a delight.
