Glengoyne 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Product Information

Finish: Medium in length, but I suspect it would be longer at 46%. No matter. That Ceylon tea note lingers on the tongue (without milk), together with some white bread toast, and mild pepper. An herbal finish flirts with honey and toffee, and then goes green at the death, with thyme and nettle. Nose: dark fruits (dates, raisins), oak, honey, red fruits, a bit of vanilla, the aroma is more gentle than one might expect.

Oak wood and vanilla with hints of almonds. Close to the 15yo on the palate but less refined, with more influence from the sherry aromas.

Nose: Plenty of fresh vibrant sherry here - mandarin, nectarine, scattered dried berries and Battenberg cake (just the gentle suggestion of marzipan). Nutty biscuitiness runs throughout - gingernuts and chocolate digestives (must be afternoon tea time). Resting proves a worthwhile endeavour here - apricots, spearmint, glacier cherries and some chocolate nibs. A dash of water pronounces sugars - toffee and fudge and baked apples.Glengoyne distillery makes a point not to use any peat to dry the malted barley. As a result, its offerings tend to appeal to folks who like to avoid smoke, as well as peat. You’ll get none of that in here. What’s more, the whisky is quite dark for an 18-year-old, and there is no artificial coloring, whatsoever. I really appreciate the high quality sherry casks used. This said, I think Glengoyne 18-Year-Old would be even better without chill filtration. Why? Because chill filtering tends to remove some of the more rough-and-tumble eccentricities in the wash that can actually be quite interesting, at least to whisky mavens.

The water is unpeated and the malt used is similarly devoid of peat. Glengoyne is one of several such whiskies in Scotland, but is the one that has made the biggest virtue of it. Glengoyne enjoys the slowest rate of distillation in Scotland (the spirit comes from the Still at around 4-5 litres per minute) which encourages the formation of ‘esters’ giving Glengoyne its characteristically sweet, smooth taste. The spirit is then matured in oak casks from Spain, which have previously contained Sherry. Ian Macleod Distillers look after this whole process. Once felled, the oak is cut into strips and dried in the sunshine of northern Spain for two years before being made into casks and filled with the Dry Oloroso Sherry for a further two years.

Because Glengoyne distillery is a hop, skip and a jump north of Glasgow, the destination is popular with tourists who are passing through Scotland and want to visit something close to the airport. In fact, if the traffic is light, it’s quite feasible to get there in under one hour of driving. Speedy lead foots have been known to make the drive in almost half that time. One little-known charming point-of-interest for visitors who fly into the airport is that the distillery is located near Dumgoyne, a hill that is actually visible from Glasgow.

Got this bottle as a birthday gift and from what I've read it's to replace the 17yo bottling from glengoyne. I've never had the 17yo but from my experience with this little gem i want to get my hands on it before it runs out. IMO there isn't anything better then been gifted a bottle of whisky from a distiller you've never really payed any attention to and discovering a bottle of whisky that you love. I really enjoyed the balance of Glengoyne's 10 Year Old offering, so let's see what the 18 Year Old has in store. Hopefully, it's not violent hatred. We have not enjoyed the privilege of a proper deep dive into the lineup of Glasgow’s Glengoyne in a decade. As such, with the assistance of some friends, we culled together a sample set and went about with a re-visitation of their core range, circa 2020. The results were as enjoyable, consistent, and eclectic as a performance from Glaswegian local music legends JD Twitch and Johnnie Wilkes.
