n- sea breeze, fresh linen p-pineapple upside down cake , vanilla cream, bananas, mint. f- long lasting, well balanced, complex layers of flavor, full coat in the glass and mouth. faint smoke from a hand rolled cigar. have a spare for later.

b.1989 -light creamy fresh lemon grass, honey, oats, easy dram. mellow through out not long lasting or complex but consitent on the finish. Kept in decanter

small bottle from London not opened.

older bottle paid 90 usd currently not opened. Second bottle found in a dusty licka stow for 100. Third bottle found for 80. Had this at a balvenie raw craft tasting with the late great Anthony Bourdain. It was poured straight from the cask with a .50 cal world war 2 shell casing. One of the best drams of my life next the the sherry cask equivalent which was my next tasting experience in the same day.

Unique and distinct golden promise barley taste and nose similar to the Macallan 12 for a fraction of the price. A great every day go to dram and I would recommend the 10-18 which is all i can afford at the moment. If you love Macallan you will enjoy Glengoyne especially for the price and quality. Check out the youtube distillery tour. Slainte!
