Glengoyne 15 Year (Discontinued)

Very complex, lots of great flavor and very easy to drink...smooth all the way through. Ending is very mellow with lots of vanilla, chocolate, caramel flavors. BEST value whiskey

Today was a good news day. Therefore, whisky. I thought it a good opportunity to open my Glengoyne 15. The nose is gorgeously tropical. Hints of mango, pineapple and caramel. Mouthfeel is light and smooth. Flavour palate is fairly mild, with slight peat, oak and pepper. Resolves with an oily, biscuit moment. I do wish the finish stuck around a bit longer. I'd think this would make a good "intro scotch" for folks who are afraid of peaty whisky. 8/10

Best with a couple drops of water. Great nose. I think I taste a touch of tobacco.

A bit harsh, but otherwise kind of a cross between the sweet cherry of Macallan 12 on the front and the rich chcolate flavor of Glenmorangie Signet on the finish. There is some really fun depth and variety here at a bargain price with minimal off notes. Fruit, mineral, toffee. It's good, but it doesn't have a ton of interesting variety. Toffee, some smoke, raisins, orange zest, hints of peat. This is a rich drink with a but much alcohol, but had richness and depth with a reasonable amount of sweetness. The malt does come through in the richness. The alcohol is unfortunately a bit much, but this is otherwise an excellent drink.

Richer than the 10, more caramel and vanilla; incredibly smooth with no burn. Easy to drink. Delicate smoke and fruity, but not much.
