Description

Glengoyne 30 Year Old – 2017 Limited Release

Matured in hand-selected sherry oak casks of exceptional character, this annual Glengoyne release of only 6000 bottles is the taste of 30 years, held in a single dram. The finest sherry casks are left almost entirely to their own devices for 30 years. Almost, but not quite. Twice, perhaps three times in three decades, the malt master will taste this ongoing alchemy of cask and spirit. His aim: to hand-select only the best sherry oak casks. Each decade has added deep colour, intense flavour and limitless complexity to the precious contents. Only the best can become Glengoyne 30 Year Old.

Nose: Slightly oily, floral honey and tangy marmalade dominate, with touches of rum-raisin ice-cream and all-spice present.

Palate: Rich, dark and thick. Sherried fruit galore, with morello cherry compote, plum jam and a layer of rich oak. Warm baking spices, cinnamon and ginger give a pleasant pinch, with a nutty backdrop.

Finish: Long, with candied orange peel rounding it off.

Bottle size: 700ml

ABV: 46,8%
