Glengoyne 18 Year Old Review
This unpeated Highland single malt is aged in ex-bourbon and first fill ex-Oloroso sherry casks. It’s nutty and a bit spicy with classic sherried notes of stewed fruits and a honey sweetness. It’s certainly good, but compared to other heavy hitters of this age, perhaps less of a value.
