Glengoyne White Oak 24 Year Old Review
Unusually for Scotch, this Highland single malt ages in a mix of first-fill bourbon casks and virgin American oak. While the latter is a requirement in American whiskey, seldom do we see it used prominently across the Atlantic — even more rarely for a release of this age. Even for aficionados, this will serve as a unique experience, and it’s an undoubtedly delicious success. The vanillins from the casks lead the charge, but following in hot pursuit are luscious stone and citrus fruits, coconut flakes, and icing sugar. There remains a dazzling youth on the palate and an impressive balance between oak and distillate. Fresh, fruity, sweet — this is stunning!
