Product description
In late 2017, Glengoyne Distillery announced a new whisky series, Spirit of Oak Collection, intended for exclusive distribution through the Travel Retail network.
The four whiskies in this collection celebrate sherry casks, and the time it takes from cutting oak from the forests of northern Spain or the southern United States to filling a Glengoyne cask. Oak staves are air-dried, then filled with sherry for anywhere from a few months to three years. Once emptied, they travel to the Glengoyne Distillery to magically transform the distillate into a complex “sherry wood whisky.” Glengoyne Curatillo (Curatillo is a small wine-producing region in southern Spain) matures in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks made from American oak.
Aroma : fresh, vanilla, toffee, sweet cereals, sponge cake, apples, peaches, traces of cinnamon and saffron.
Taste : creamy and fruity, milk fudge, vanilla cream, apricots, nectarines, oranges, a touch of cinnamon and cloves and a trace of oak.
Finish: medium long, fruity and spicy, grapes, oranges, apricots, cinnamon and cloves.
