The Glengoyne 15 Year Old is a beautifully balanced Highland single malt from Glengoyne Distillery, renowned for producing one of Scotland’s slowest-distilled whiskies. Matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and carefully selected sherry casks, this expression bridges the freshness of Glengoyne’s younger whiskies with the richer depth of its older releases.
Unpeated and elegant, the 15 Year Old offers a refined profile built around orchard fruit, honeyed malt and gentle spice, making it an ideal choice for drinkers who enjoy subtle complexity and sherry influence without overwhelming richness.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Bright gold with warm amber highlights.
Nose: Fresh and inviting. Notes of green apple, ripe pear and citrus peel are layered with honey, vanilla and a touch of almond. Gentle hints of dried fruit and soft oak spice emerge with time.
Palate: Smooth and rounded. Sweet malt, toffee and orchard fruit are complemented by raisin, cinnamon and delicate sherry-cask richness. The texture is creamy and elegant, with the bourbon casks bringing vanilla and the sherry casks adding depth and warmth.
Finish: Medium-long and warming, with lingering notes of honeyed malt, dried fruit and soft oak spice.
