And here is the 10th Batch of Glengoyne Cask Strength, an annual limited edition that showcases the distillery's most intense spirit. For the occasion, it was aged in Refill Oak and Oloroso casks, with a small proportion of Bourbon Barrels. We don't know the age, but at least it's Cask Strength.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

On the nose, lemon peel, slightly candied, but not too pronounced. White currants, well-balanced fullness, citrus meringue, grapefruit. Salted butter caramel, white peaches and lychees. Warm white chocolate cookies. On the palate, creamy vanilla, juicy and tangy pears, which go very well with the citrus fruit. It's woody and almost waxy, with honey and cinnamon. The spices build slowly to a peppery finish, clove and nutmeg, hazelnuts and smoky green tea, damp wood.   

In Short, 

I found it to have character and an original profile. It's very well made, delicate, gourmand, and full-bodied when it needs to be. What's more, if you look hard enough, you can find it at a very reasonable price. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime. Batch 011 is still not out, so we're waiting for it to compare. 

Score : 88
