Glengoyne 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

A new release from the southernmost of the Highland distilleries. Glengoyne uses only unpeated malted barley i.e. barley which is air dried rather than dried under a peat fire. The newly packaged twelve year old expression (as opposed to the 12 year old cask strength) has just arrived in Australia. Reportedly, there's a high proportion of Sherry casks involved in the maturation. Natural colour.

Tasting note: Straw / gold colour with very pale straw hue. The nose reveals subtle notes of vanilla, clove and cinnamon with an apple / pear like fruitiness, then sweeter cereal notes. The warm palate entry reveals pear, biscuit and grain flavours. Excellent concentration and texture. Subtle yet lasting aftertaste of cereals and liquorice strap.
A perfect session whisky and a little bit more besides! 43% Alc./Vol.
