This Glengoyne I had some time ago as a blindsample in the glass. The basic notes and basic impressions are the same, with me the Glengoyne tastes a little better today. Let me just quote my comment on the blind tasting: "The nose is extremely fruity and complex, intense mint leaves the otherwise fruity nose pleasantly fresh." This sample is dominated by dry and tart wood tones, the finish is also wooden and eternally long Again, the nose was the dominating element for me in this malt .... I found this malt complex and quite interesting.The slight baseline has harmonized well with the other components. " 22/22/21/21

Sweet honey and slightly dry woody tones mix only cautiously, the alcohol is relatively strong in part. Oranges and dark caramel follow, the sweetness becomes more intense and fruity. Apricot, annans and a touch of green apple mix to a fruity sweet melange, the overall impression of the nose is creamy and gentle. Cocoa powder and a pinch of cinnamon let in a slightly spicy note, with a fresh peppermint note in the background.

Creamy and gentle, the Glengoyne flows through the mouth, after a few seconds, black pepper lays around the tongue and dresses the palate with a pleasant sharpness. A light chili-catch emits a light burning sharpness, spicy and slightly tart wood elements rise from the fading sharpness. A touch of furniture polish or glaze is created, at the moment dominate tart and extremely wooden aromas.

Bitter and bitter, the aftertaste begins. Dark walnut flavors and dry wood exude a plump warmth, the sharpness flares up again and produces a small "afterburner". On the whole, the aftertaste is dominated by tart and discreetly bitter wood tones, here and there are dried fruit elements. A touch of mint gives the finish a fresh note, such as a chewing gum chewing for hours.
