Glengoyne 18 year old was launched in 2012 alongside a new 15 year old. Their introductions consigned the previous 17 year old to the archives, but opened up the distillery’s age statement range further. There’s now an expansive selection of core range sherried whiskies running from 10 through to 30 years of age.The last wee bit of finish cannot help but reveal its Highland breeding. I must say the rather solemn and circumspect finish is what boosts this dram up a little higher in my estimation than the less predictable Glengoyne 17-Year-Old. There’s really nothing to dislike, and much to enjoy. Yes, yes . . . I know that quite a few reviewers pine for the lost wonders of what they no longer can buy or taste, but I do remember some bitterness and off-putting rindy notes, which I did not relish, in the earlier sibling.

Awards for Glengoyne 18

Palate: medium bodied, brown sugar, almonds, red apples, walnuts, a touch of cloves, some milk chocolate Because Glengoyne distillery is a hop, skip and a jump north of Glasgow, the destination is popular with tourists who are passing through Scotland and want to visit something close to the airport. In fact, if the traffic is light, it’s quite feasible to get there in under one hour of driving. Speedy lead foots have been known to make the drive in almost half that time. One little-known charming point-of-interest for visitors who fly into the airport is that the distillery is located near Dumgoyne, a hill that is actually visible from Glasgow.

As such, with the assistance of some friends, we culled together a sample set and went about with a re-visitation of their core range, circa 2020. The results were as enjoyable, consistent, and eclectic as a performance from Glaswegian local music legends JD Twitch and Johnnie Wilkes. Nose: Plenty of fresh vibrant sherry here - mandarin, nectarine, scattered dried berries and Battenberg cake (just the gentle suggestion of marzipan). Nutty biscuitiness runs throughout - gingernuts and chocolate digestives (must be afternoon tea time). Resting proves a worthwhile endeavour here - apricots, spearmint, glacier cherries and some chocolate nibs. A dash of water pronounces sugars - toffee and fudge and baked apples.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. For some reason, I don’t miss the fact that Glengoyne 18-Year-Old single malt Scotch is averse to risk-taking. In fact, now I’m wondering if this whisky might indeed be one of the few cases in which I actually appreciate chill filtration. Is such a thing possible? Finish: Medium in length, but I suspect it would be longer at 46%. No matter. That Ceylon tea note lingers on the tongue (without milk), together with some white bread toast, and mild pepper. An herbal finish flirts with honey and toffee, and then goes green at the death, with thyme and nettle.

As a result, its offerings tend to appeal to folks who like to avoid smoke, as well as peat. You’ll get none of that in here. What’s more, the whisky is quite dark for an 18-year-old, and there is no artificial coloring, whatsoever. I really appreciate the high quality sherry casks used. This said, I think Glengoyne 18-Year-Old would be even better without chill filtration. Why? Because chill filtering tends to remove some of the more rough-and-tumble eccentricities in the wash that can actually be quite interesting, at least to whisky mavens.You are responsible for all activities through your account.
