  1. erwinnlim scored this whisky 91 points Expert Senior

    Supposedly sourced from first-fill European oak Oloroso sherry casks between 8 and 14 years old. However, this does not present like an 8 year old at all. Extremely robust and well matured, some beautiful casks were selected for this vatting. Perhaps it's the memory of trying this in the actual distillery but this is probably the best that Glengoyne has to offer. Value (£120) : 6/10
    • Nose
      Huge spicy sherry bomb on the nose. A burst of raisins, sultanas, morello cherries, plums and raspberries. A distinct spice from the European Oak gives this a peppery warmth. Hazelnuts and baked marzipan. Very dark chocolate and cocoa notes. Buttered toffee. A light touch of candied orange and red apples as well. Deep, dark leather and tobacco notes, leaving a drying sensation on the nose. Loads of cinnamon, cloves and ginger. A touch of cooling peppermint or eucalyptus. A slight minerality and some solventy astringency add to it as well.
    • Taste
      Oily and thick on the palate. Again big sherried rum raisins with dried fruits and hazelnuts. Treacle toffee. Christmas cake and Turkish delight. Some burnt caramel. Loads of dark chocolate and cocoa. Orange marmalade. Muscovado sugar and cinnamon notes along with a punch of black pepper and ginger spice. Again that peppermint is present. Dark notes of tobacco and leather.
    • Finish
      A long finish with loads of warming spice on the back of the palate. More marzipan and Christmas cake. All that pepper and ginger eventually calm into bitter dark chocolate orange notes along with the even more dried fruit.

    Colour: Even slightly darker than Batch 006.
    Scent: vanilla, sherry, very light paper.
    Taste: more harmonious, rounder, more mature and much more intense than Batch 006, oak, slightly astringent, youth can still be felt, very intense, sweet, tasty, depth is missing, very little earthy, fruity, oily, Amarena cherry, overall a really nice whisky.
    Compared to the Glenfarclas Family Cask 2008 #2437, #2438 and 2003/S20 by far the best.

    Absolutely gorgeous balance between a rich thick malty spirit and massive oloroso cask influence. I absolutely love dark chocolate infused with oranges and fruits and this dram was just stuffed full of those notes with a healthy addition of dry oak spices and lovely warming heat. Glengoyne packed a lot of complex full-bodied flavors into this dram and I loved the bright kola notes that came through on the mid-palate and the almost savory fattiness near the end which pulled this back from becoming too sweet.

    Mental Image: Tenochtitlán’s Hippest Cocktail Lounge
    • Nose
      Hearty and rich with stewed fruits, cinnamon, and the meaty complexity of beef bourguignon. The aroma is thick with crushed ripe cherries, brown sugar, and fruity orange Grand Marnier.
    • Taste
      Medium-bodied with the creaminess of an egg cream or a flip cocktail. Dark Mexican chocolate infused with bright fruity peppers, oranges, and fruits emerges right away. The flavor profile shifts between stewed stone fruits, bright oaky spices, and dark roasted coffee. Orange-infused chocolates, fizzy ginger kola, and chocolate-covered fruit arrangements appear over time as the oloroso influence builds. On the back end are savory fatty notes from a fruity glazed ham or roast.
    • Finish
      Lingering dark chocolate, citrus peel, and spice.

    Teapot is an interesting limited series launched by Glengoyne.
    This is a good dram, sweet and sulphur at nose bit also at finish. A bit flat at mouth.

    This bottling deserves the title "Sherry bomb" without reservation. The first-fill ex-Oloroso casks unfold their full potential with this teapot dram. One searches in vain for the distillery character of Glengoyne behind the sherry. On the nose I liked it better without water, but before trying it I recommend diluting the malt with a little water. Otherwise the alcohol will coat the tongue too much.

    • Nose
      The sherry fills my nose immediately and I can't find much else besides it at first. The aroma is very sweet and fruity. It reminds me of (canned) peaches, dried dates, overripe red apples, cherries and roasted almonds. The oak also makes itself felt quickly. It brings slightly spicy notes and roasted aromas. I hardly feel anything from the 59.9% alcohol by volume. At most a slight tickle in the nose, but much weaker than I expected with such a high alcohol content. The alcohol carries the sherry aroma very well.
    • Taste
      Then it no longer hides on the tongue. There it can be clearly felt and even manages to push the sherry aside a bit. Apart from the dominant alcohol note, the sherry is still clearly present and confirms the impressions in the nose. After swallowing, the sweetness decreases relatively quickly, the sherry takes a back seat and the oak spreads on the palate and in the throat. The mouthfeel will be significantly drier and bittersweet roasted aromas and coffee aromas will dominate.
    • Finish
      The finish is very long and a hint of the sherry lingers even after the bitterness has subsided.

      With water:
      The nose changes only slightly at first. The sweet sherry notes continue to dominate, but it loses a little intensity. In addition to the sweetness, I then discover more floral notes as a nice addition to the sweet sherry. On the tongue it becomes much more pleasing with water. The alcohol no longer numbs the mouth as much, the sherry can unfold better. On the finish, the bitterness of the oak is toned down a bit. However, the finish remains long and warming.

    As soon as I pour it, I notice what I'm getting myself into. Immediately the sherry rises up my nose and next to it I can't find much more at first. The aroma is very sweet and fruity. It reminds me of (canned) peaches, dried dates, overripe red apples, cherries and roasted almonds. The oak is also quickly noticeable. It brings slightly spicy notes and roasted aromas. I feel almost nothing of the 59.9% alcohol by volume. At most a slight tickle in the nose, but much less than I expected with such a high alcohol content. The alcohol carries the sherry aroma very well.

    He then no longer hides on his tongue. It can be clearly felt there and even manages to push the sherry to one side. Apart from the dominant alcohol note, the sherry is still clearly present and confirms the impressions on the nose. After swallowing, the sweetness disappears relatively quickly, the sherry takes a back seat and the oak spreads across the palate and throat. The mouthfeel becomes significantly drier and slightly bitter roasted aromas and coffee aromas dominate. The finish is very long and a hint of the sherry remains even after the bitterness has subsided.

    When diluted with a little water, the nose changes only insignificantly at first. The sweet sherry notes continue to dominate, but it loses a little intensity. In addition to the sweetness, I then increasingly discover more flowery notes as a nice addition to the sweet sherry. It becomes much more pleasing on the tongue with water. The alcohol no longer numbs the mouth as much, the sherry can develop better. In the finish, the bitterness of the oak is weakened a little. The finish remains long and warm.

    Conclusion
    This bottling deserves the title “sherry bomb” without restriction. The ex-Oloroso barrels filled for the first time develop their full potential in this Teapot Dram. The bottling does not have any age, so I tend to assume a younger malt. With such an intense barrel, decades of maturation would also be counterproductive. One looks in vain for the distillery character of Glengoyne behind the sherry. On the nose I liked it better without water, but before trying it, I advise you to dilute the malt with a little water. Otherwise, the alcohol will cover the tongue too much. All in all very tasty!

    For me, the nose is the absolute highlight. I could hold my trunk in the glass for hours. In the mouth you can also expect great fireworks, but they are no longer quite as pleasant. The finish could also be a little longer.
    It's a shame that the Teapot Drams are so rare. The secondary market prices are quite tough ...

    This is The Best Sherry Bomb Whisky I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. Better than Glendronach, Aberlour, MacAllan, Tamdhu, Glenfarclas, and Kavalan. Pure sultanas, stewed plums, spiced figs, mincemeat pie a'la mode. The nose is serene, with Christmas spices, vanilla, dark cherry pie, and dark fruits. A forever finish matching the palate, never disclosing the 59.9% ABV supporting all that flavor. It drinks like a 46% so be forewarned, this ain't tea, this is a high octane sherried whisky that hides its power but not its character.

    an overall winner!
    this is my favourite of Glengoyne Teapots that i tried! Powerful sherry malt, super rich aromas and probably the "oldest" taste for a NAS sherry whisky that i know of.
    yes its not cheap, coming from Batch 006 (+30 pounds) but for me its def. better compared to 006.
    With 59,9% for me this is better value than the 21yo with 43%. The Teapot dram takes water and is not fragile.
    If you can still find a bottle, get hold of it! The Batch 008 will NOT be cheaper...

    Intense, very well balanced sherry malt. Very nicely loaded with sherry flavors but not overloaded. Nice complexity that a rather younger whisky shows here, although it actually looks older.
    All in all very good!
    • Nose
      89 89
      the rather high alcohol content is hardly noticeable, only a slight sting every now and then. But then a great, quite charged sherry malt flows towards you. many dried fruits like raisins figs are included. Rum flavors, plus dark and fruity with oranges, cherries, strawberries, some caramelized popcorn with a kind of sweet vanilla tobacco. Oak notes emerge a little more slowly. Very fine malt. I like it very much.
    • Taste
      89 89
      full mouthfeel, strength; Spice, peppery sharpness fill the mouth before a sweetness and the dark fruits spread. Raisins, dates, figs, oranges, cherries, some plum must, cinnamon and delicate bitter chocolate ensure sweetness and slightly bitter moments. In the background there is a constant oak flavor with chocolate.

    From the website (before it gets replaced by the next batch):

    Teapot Dram Batch 007, £120.00, 70cl, 59.9% Vol

    Until the 1970s, many distilleries used to keep their workers sweet with a daily dram. It was usually a meagre tumbler of new-make spirit, hot off the stills. But not at Glengoyne. Our daily dram was always from a young, flavour-packed sherry cask – so that’s exactly what you’ll find in the Teapot Dram Batch No. 007. What better way to show our appreciation of the team’s time and care? Inspired by the long-gone tradition of our daily whisky ration, the cask strength Teapot Dram Batch No. 007 is deliberately young and bold. A strictly limited release of just ten first fill European Oak Oloroso sherry casks, the Teapot Dram Batch No. 007 is only available from the Glengoyne Distillery.
    On the taste, it has initial swathes of red apples, demerara sugar and chocolate-enrobed Turkish delight, which give way to a tangy Seville marmalade, cinnamon, cloves and rich, dark cocoa.
    It has an exceptionally long finish and a burst of crystallised sugar sweetness at the end.

    The Teapot Dram is the perfect way to show your appreciation of that special whisky-lover in your life.

    The many positive reviews made me very curious about the Teapot Dram. I was very enthusiastic about the 21 and 25 series from Glengoyne. It is definitely different here, with almost 60% alcohol I will have to dilute with water. The Teapot Dram looks a lot in the glass with its dark walnut wood color with a red cast.

    The intense sherry flavors pour out of the glass with a lot of fruit and sweetness. From the sherry profile, the teapot dram is very fruity and strong, the fruits move on the one hand in the area of dates, figs, raisins and a little plum jam, on the other hand there is also a pleasant freshness that reminds me of lime peel, oranges and some raspberry Ahoy shower reminds. This makes the whisky not really heavy, although there are many dark, sweet fruit flavors. Nut chocolate with a higher cocoa content is now added to the fruit. A very subtle dryness can be seen in the background, as you know it from cocoa powder. There are hints of leather and tobacco, but for me they only play minor supporting roles. When it comes to sweetness, I have to think of caramel, which was sprinkled with pepper when it was smelled for a long time. Overall, the whisky on the nose is really very good! No sulfur, wonderful fruitiness and sweetness, the spiciness and the tannins are wonderfully integrated. I would have liked a little more weight and depth, but so far I am very satisfied.

    In the mouth, the Teapot Dram is incredibly powerful and although it slides creamily into the mouth, it completely messes up my taste buds. What intensity! I cannot concentrate on the individual flavors at all, but try to cope with this overwhelming power.

    I dilute to about 52-54% alcohol. In the nose, the dryness of the cocoa powder decreases somewhat, which makes the fruitiness a little more dominant. The caramel sweetness is now supplemented by honey notes, which I find very great. Overall, the whisky is a little less interesting on the nose, but it is more pleasing and softer.
    In the mouth, the Teapot Dram is still powerful, but is now pleasantly drinkable, even if a peppery sharpness covers the tongue. It's great how the dark fruits combine with the sweetness and spiciness and take up the mouth together. The whisky looks really creamy in the mouth, because the sweetness spreads like a syrup. A little dryness spreads, the dark cocoa reports again and brings its tart friends with it: a little leather and tobacco are noticeable, the peppery is supported by a sharpness of ginger, the tannins are clearly noticeable overall but at no time too dominant. This is the advantage when the sweetness and fruitiness are so strong, because this makes the tannins wonderfully integrated.
    Intense, sweet, fruity, spicy and slightly tart ... the Glengoyne covers a wide range of tastes, great!

    The finish is long with pepper, some ginger spice, hints of tobacco and leather and a very wonderful fruitiness, which with raisins and dates also ensure a pleasant sweetness. I often experience that whiskys lose their fruitiness and sweetness in the mouth and especially in the aftertaste for the most part. This is definitely not the case here. At all times, the tannins are wrapped in a veil of dried fruit and sweetness.

    You can tell from the Teapot Dram overall that it lacks a bit of stamina. The whisky looks a bit impetuous and youthfully fresh. But still: delicious! A modern, intense sherry whisky that should make all lovers of this whisky direction very happy. Some complain about the price increase and I can understand the displeasure well. But in my eyes, the whisky is just worth the money.

    I give 90/100 points.

    Powerful sherry malt, rich in intense aromas. I can only be amazed what you got here in a rather younger whisky, even if you can tell that it is not developed like a> 20 year old malt. Definitely tolerates a little water, then it opens wonderfully and there is a lot to discover.

    Compared to Batch 6, which is perhaps a bit spicier / woodier and fresher, Batch 7 is a bit sweeter / fruity and sedate. Both have their charms in their nuances, but the differences are quite small.

    GLENGOYNE:
    On the taste, it has initial swathes of red apples, demerara sugar and chocolate-enrobed Turkish delight, which give way to a tangy Seville marmalade, cinnamon, cloves and rich, dark cocoa. It has an exceptionally long finish and a burst of crystallised sugar sweetness at the end.

    The GG distillery shop unapologetically upped the price from £90 to a whopping £120 within one year and boldly claim this year's Teapot Dram to be young as if that were a sign of quality. Hmm.
    Granted, last years TD was better + seemed older than recent A'bunadhs, but now for more than twice the price, I think I'll skip this one and live off of batch 6 stock.
    Kinda sad for Glengoyne, but good luck to all buyers that you'll get legendary juice this time.
