A dram of real quality and sophistication. Young Glengoyne is often wonderfully malty, whilst older versions are sherry dominated. The 12 year old is where we start to see the sherry exert itself. It isn’t in command yet but it’s flexing its muscles so to speak. Very well balanced and great value for money.

My wife was the driver for the day, as I was mixing whisky, so we decanted that into a little sample bottle for me to try at home. Though I enjoyed it on the day, I’m glad I did have the chance to analyse it at home because it turned out to be a very nice whisky indeed. Palate: Soft and silky. Light fruits and nut butters initially, very well integrated. Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in distilled form – very unlike anything else I’ve tried, although it reminds me a bit of Glenrothes.

Glengoyne 12 sets itself apart by choosing not to add caramel coloring, which is a common practice in the whisky industry. By air-blowing the malted barley instead of using peat for drying, Glengoyne 12 offers a smooth and clean Single Malt experience, completely devoid of any smoky or peaty notes.Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. An excellent clean, fresh whisky, well-made and with enough depth of flavour for this being lovely at the start of the evening. I suspect newcomers might find this especially approachable – and note, that I think that not because it is bland (it isn’t) but that it’s got so much softness, and tenderness: a late-summer shaft of sunlight across an orchard. The wash is then distilled in copper-pot stills, with Glengoyne’s slow distillation process setting it apart from other distilleries in Scotland. Aging Glengoyne 12 is crafted using Golden Promise barley, a flavorful early-maturing spring barley that was once popular but fell out of favor due to cost and lower yield. Aged for 12 years in a mix of first-fill sherry, refill sherry, and ex-bourbon and first-fill Hogshead ex-bourbon barrels. How to drink it?
