Glengoyne 10 Year Old, 700ml
Glengoyne, a Highland whisky distillery founded in 1833, is located in the rolling hills of Dumgoyne and it is currently owned by Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd.
The distillery sources its water from a natural spring called Kilburn Dam, which gives the whisky its smooth and fruity character.
Unlike other Highland distilleries, Glengoyne exclusively uses unpeated malt, creating a lighter and more approachable whisky.
Glengoyne also holds the title for the slowest distillation in Scotland, which results in a delicate and complex spirit thanks to its tall, slender stills.
The Glengoyne 10 Year Old is made from air-dried barley, never peated, and matured in a combination of sherry casks crafted from European and American oak.
Nose: Sweet, with toffee and popcorn aromas. It's slightly nutty, with fresh green apples coming through.
Palate: Clean. Green apples and grass, soft oak, and a hint of sweet licorice. Water brings linseed oil and almonds.
Finish: Sweet and malty.
