OLDENZAAL - Friday, September 21, 2018
Especially for our 100-year anniversary, Robbie Hughes, Distillery Manager at Glengoyne, has selected a barrel. This Single Cask Oloroso Sherry Hogshead is "hand selected" and is a perfect example of craftsmanship. The whisky has an elegant balance between crème brûlée, red apple and rosehip, with a delicious aftertaste. The secret: no peat.
The official presentation of this special and limited available whisky will take place during the festivities in Oldenzaal on Sunday 7 and Monday 8 October. Visitors will be given priority with regard to allocation.

This Glengoyne is how I like them (although a bit youngish); perfect alcohol integration, decent body and complex enough to keep you sniffing and sipping for an hour or so. This whisky delivers a variety of oranges combined with caramel and chocolate sweetness. Nicely balanced by wood and spices.

A calm, soft, malty, dark body, a fermented food-like taste that comes up from behind

Strong, but not overwhelming sherry sweetness, a lot of sherry, oak, wood, pepper, comes across much older, the wood is very present, but not bitter. Pretty optimal sherry whisky, especially for its age. Goes over 10 years older.

Toffee Apples & Cherries
For the 100th jubilee of the Dutch importer De Monnik Dranken, the distillery manager Robbie Hughes selected this single cask from 2015. It was presented a little over a year ago, but only now reached my neck of the woods thanks to my Dutch buddy Manny.

Now that is a dark and sweet nose. Figs, raisins and dates, candied sugar and cherries. The whole is sprinkled with warm caramel. And the alcohol is perfectly integrated. This smells soft, despite the sturdy ABV. Nice.

It could do with a little more body. This is quite light. Luckily the taste is bull’s eye. The fruit is rather red now. Think raspberries, toffee apples and cherries, nicely seasoned on nutmeg, cinnamon and mocha. Some hazelnuts appear. It becomes a bid drying towards the end, but remains smooth enough to keep things pleasant.

The finish is a nice continuation of the palate, but could have been somewhat longer and more intense. The spices fade just a tad too quickly to my taste.

Nicely balanced whisky. This would have been perfect for The Legacy. But hey, the Dutch too deserve a good dram from time to time, right? Just kidding. Thanks, Manny.
