Summer time Duets
At the moment younger Glengoyne |
| At all times prefer to attempt Glengoyne, particularly for the reason that title appears to have change into rather less, say prevalent lately. We used to see many extra Glengoynes ten or twenty years in the past. So, me completely happy now… |

Glengoyne ‘Cask Energy Batch 008’ (59.2%, OB, 2020) 
From sherry casks and bourbon barrels. This one too was ‘unhurried Since 1833’ however I am asking, is not that beginning to really feel somewhat lengthy? (Ed: S., oh please!) The primary and the second batches (2013 and 2014) have been my favorite. BTW, this #008 comes with a brand new livery. Color: gentle gold. Nostril: somewhat uncooked, on porridge and muesli, with touches of rubber, stems, apple peelings, cider, somewhat muscovado sugar, wisteria, scones… Slightly all-natural, with moderately minimal sherry impression. With water: will get almondy and somewhat mentholy. Cedar wooden, some patchouli and a few beedis. Peace, love! Mouth (neat): near the barley, with good citrus and different acidic fruits, citrons, Seville oranges, then somewhat caramel and certainly touches of contemporary sherry. Some pepper. With water: on citrus and caramel, some sort of lemony chilli – I suppose that does exist – and walnut wine. End: lengthy, moderately on toasted bread, pecan pie, toffee, chocolate… Some butterscotch within the aftertaste. Feedback: a fairly good batch, I’d say. Performs effectively with H2O.
SGP:551 – 85 factors. |

Glengoyne 2009/2020 (57.1%, OB, The Household Legacy, PX hogshead, cask #1009, 318 bottles) 
This can be a single cask, clearly. Color: amber. Nostril: jogs my memory of the olden days, with this beautiful, barely varnishy sherry, a variety of toffee and nougat, outdated furnishings and outdated books, thuja and cedar wooden… I am moderately impressed I’ve to say. With water: basic improvement on mushrooms, earth, cigars and lamp oil. Very good. Mouth (neat): very good certainly! Shoe polish, triple-sec, fudge, menthol, cough syrup, heather honey… Love this, actually. Some single cask! With water: and there, as anticipated it took water extraordinarily effectively, getting extra citrusy and extra natural. Citronelle, correct limoncello, inexperienced walnuts… That is excellent. End: moderately lengthy, tense and curiously vertical (in the most effective sense) given the pedigree. Maybe the much less schmalzy ex-PX malt whisky ever. Fairly. Feedback: we’d like the papers to verify this was PX and never fino or amontillado. I’m not joking. Okay, I’m. Splendid younger Glengoyne, makes me very completely happy. Certainly I’ve expurgated this notice.

Straight from the Whiskyfun Archive, this journal advert for Glengoyne, I consider circa 1995. Certainly the engines within the 911s was once air-cooled till 1997 whereas Glengoyne’s malt was ‘air-dried’, so unpeated. Porsche switched to water-cooling in 1997; Glengoyne might then have put an image of their stills, but it surely’s true that each one stills are water-cooled, are they not. Their was once a variant of this advert with Cohiba cigars as an alternative of a pink 911.
