Glengoyne 18 was really up and down for me. I had the bottle open for about a year but I would occasionally get sour notes on the nose. Not sure why that happened and when it did, the bottle would go right back into the closet. Overall, the nose was fairly interesting but unfortunately, it was the main highlight for me.
Nose: Milk Chocolate, toffee/burnt caramel, and red apples. With time the caramel evolves to notes of buttery caramel and syrup.
Tastes: Clean, rich but watery, complex, and spice. Hints of apricot and a unique finish of coconut.
Finish: Medium and velvety
I purchased it at Remedy Liquor for a great price. However, it seems like all the Glengoyne core range whiskies have gone up in price dramatically since the end of 2019. It's currently priced at $130. At that price, I probably wouldn't get another bottle. The nose was good but the palate and finish were nothing special.
