Unlike most other single malts Glengoyne has been preserving the essence of its flavour for decades by using air-dried barley rather than barley dried using harsh peat smoke. The result is a more subtle, complex whisky in which all of the delicate flavours are freely allowed to express themselves. Golden yellow. Clear & bright. Sweet, with toffee & popcorn aromas. Slightly nutty, with fresh green apples coming through. Warming. Clean. Green apples & grass with a hint of sweet liquorice. After Water: Sweeter. Linseed oil & almonds. Sweet & malty. A great introduction to Glengoyne range.
