At Douglas Laing's, the Provenance range brings together Scottish single casks of a relatively young age, around ten years. This one is a Glengoyne aged in Bourbon casks, selected for The Whisky Trail, Scotland's most famous whisky distributor, based in Edinburgh. 342 bottles were produced.

 

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

White fruits, lemon zest, grapefruit, coarse salt, damp grass. The Scottish countryside, with green hills as far as the eye can see. A vague impression of iodine, but I must be imagining things. On the palate, pear and white plums, a dash of vanilla. Sandalwood, floral fragrances, daffodils and jasmine. Quite a long finish, with varnished wood and soft caramel. A hint of latte macchiato. Gingerbread. Damp earth. Fig and banana. Liquorice stick.

 

In Short, 

It's really nice and pleasant to drink. I could do with a second glass. Having said that, it's not my thing, not an ounce of peat and aged in bourbon casks, I'm already surprised that I enjoyed it a little.

Score : 84
