Product description
Glengoyne is a small distillery with a production capacity of just over one million litres of alcohol per year.
Since 2003, the plant has belonged to Ian Macleod Distillers, which has increased sales of its single malt by 150% in 10 years. Throughout the 20th century, Glengoyne supplied malt spirits to several significant blends, including Cutty Sark, Famous Grouse and Lang's. The 12-year-old has been in the distillery's offer for years, with around 60% of spirits coming from refill bourbon and sherry casks, the remaining 40% in equal parts from similar casks, but first fill.
Aroma: malty and nutty with a hint of fruit, traces of sherry, lemon peel, apples, vanilla, honey, oak and a bit of cinnamon.
Taste: mild, malty, slightly buttery, vanilla, toffee, cinnamon, candied ginger, orange peel and a hint of hazelnut.
Finish: medium long with quite distinct notes of sherry, hazelnuts and oak.
