Glengoyne 18 Year

Very subtle nose, delicate and complex. VERY smooth and easy-to-drink, with the trademark apple and subtle caramel notes, and a very short finish. Delicious, and likely a good option for those new to single-malts.

This is a great quality, easy to love, classic scotch. Wonderful nostalgic notes of Christmas and comforting warmth. Nothing is unpleasant and not a lot is outstanding. Just a rich delicious whisky with enough tannins to offset the ample sweet fruity experience.
