Glengoyne 12 Year

Not sure if it's because the bottles been opened to long (although this bar does turn over stuff pretty quick) but as Lee said flat mouth feel and I'm getting literally nothing out of this. I'll copy and past Lee's score as well 2.75...done. Not too disappointed as it was a palate cleanser / warm up act for the 21 yr G&M Mortlach and one off cask sample Longrow Red 17 yr (provided straight to the bar owner from the Springbank rep who came to Dramfest). Onwards and upwards!

I purchased this one for our little tasting group. This is one that you don’t find often on shelves and must say my interest was somewhat piqued. A fruity nose: apples, pears and apricots. Notes of toasted marshmallows, honeysuckle, heather, barley sugar, toffee. Medium-weight body that arrives initially spicy of black pepper. Cream soda. Lemon zest, orange creamsicle. Small traces of milk chocolate are sprinkled in the recesses. This leaves the palate with black pepper, orange bitters, oak, ginger and a hint of char. A nice, straight forward whisky that’s easy to enjoy. A robust and inviting nose but delivers diluted flavors. The good flavors are there, but not with any emphasis. A bit more maturity would do this one well. A nice whisky and may be a good summer sipper. [$50][85/100][Tasted: 2/17/18]

Sweet fruity oak. Great nose. Short finish. 3.5
