Glengoyne 25 year old, 48%

Price: 800 Issue: Fall 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

For those that enjoy nosing whisky as much as tasting it, this indulgence brings aromas of damson, bramble, leather, sultana, pecan, unlit cigar, gentle spices, and a few floral notes. Glengoyne is highly skilled at sherry cask maturation, and this exemplary dram has flavors of orange, peppercorn, marmalade, clove, bramble, stewed apple, and milk chocolate. The finish is spicy, with flavors of chocolate, leather, and licorice.
