Glengoyne 10 Year Old review

Tasting Notes

About:

Scotch single malt aged a decade in hand-selected sherry casks crafted from European and American oak; bottled at 40% ABV; priced around $60.
Appearance:
The colors in the glass are reflective of a younger Scotch, showcasing nice light golden colors. Solid leg structure and viscosity are also reflected within.
Nose:
This opens to the nose clean and refreshingly, bringing notes of golden apple, pear, butterscotch, floral influences and honey.
Palate:
Clean and fresh like the nose, with gentle considerations of honey, green apple, toffee pudding, vanilla, butterscotch, and maple oatmeal.
Finish:
Nice and easy is the name of the game for the finish, being very gentle and soft as it slowly fades. No fuss, no mess, and nothing overly complex here.
Comments:
Entry-level Scotches give you an idea of what to initially anticipate as you go deeper into a distillery’s portfolio. This 10-year-old from Glengoyne sets a solid start to that story.
