Glengoyne Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$109.00
This full-proof bottling has an effusive nose of English toffee, cinnamon, quince paste, and even some ripe berry fruit. The full-body carries these flavors, but with water, more delicate apple and floral notes come to the fore. A long and complex whisky.
UBC: 95 pts; WKY: 91 pts.
About
Six guiding principles rooted in nearly 200 years of our craft. An unwavering commitment to the environment. And a gathering of like-minded people. This is the Glengoyne Way. We always dry our barley by air – Our founders established this tradition through necessity: there is no peat in the soil around Dumgoyne. The slowest stills in Scotland – Glengoyne’s bold flavours are the result of an equally bold pledge: to coax our spirit through the slowest whisky stills in Scotland. Our sherry casks are rare and expensive. Each Glengoyne cask is handled with meticulous care. We choose the harder path – We start by selecting our own oak from the forests of northern Spain. We then insist it is dried naturally by sun and air for three years. When it’s ready, each hand-built cask is filled with sherry in Jerez, and left to absorb its rich colour and flavours for up to three years. Our progress is measured not in years or decades, but in centuries.
Glengoyne Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the taste of Scotland’s slowest distillation, matured in first-fill European and American oak Oloroso sherry casks, refill casks and bourbon barrels. It is then bottled as tradition insists: at cask strength, un-chillfiltered. Haggis needs a bold partner. Glengoyne Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a perfect match – its fruity, peppery notes are perfect with this classic Scottish dish.
