A new sample to taste from Glengoyne. This 18 years old scotch is very nice. There is hint of vanilla and a very full and pleasing aroma in the glass. There might be a little fruit in there as well. It leaves a smooth after taste.
Their website declares that the never peat their barley so that contributes to the flavor a greater variety of flavors mixing. It is aged in sherry casks. It sits on on the tongue like a syrup without being sweet. It seems to me that it would go very well with chocolate. A delightful drink.
You'l notice that so far I have not have anything bad to say about any of the samples. Some are better than others, but they are all good. This is certainly one I'd buy again. It appears that I can buy it online from their website, although this may be limited to only UK buyers.
Steve, I'm so damned jealous of you for your excellent Scotch experience. I've thought Laphroaig was too peat heavy. Glad to find you and 'Libby' out on the web. (She will probably want to kill me for that.)
