The Glengoyne Legacy Series Chapter Three review

Tasting Notes

About:

48% ABV, made with 100% malted barley, and bottled un-chillfiltered. Suggested retail price of $94.99 per 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
This is golden straw in color. It creates a clean thin layer on the glass.
Nose:
I get a lot of green apple and lemon oil right away. There is also a lighter smell of caramel and barley.
Palate:
The front is peppery and citrusy with an underlying sweetness of tropical fruit. The mid palate tastes of red apples and barley. The barley carries through to the finish. There is a little meatiness in the transition to the finish and I am left with a kind of cotton candy quality, it is light and has a general sweetness to it.
Finish:
Comments:
This is enjoyable whisky. At just under $100, there are probably other bottles I would rather spend my money on for one reason or another. But, if you enjoy other Glengoyne whiskies, and are able to find a bottle of this, I would certainly recommend giving it a try. The style of whisky for me is very approachable and something that could easily be brought out to share at any kind of event.
