Glengoyne 18 Year

Way more wood on the nose than the 12, less fruit. Not the flavor there, explosion of fruit. Much better balance than the 12, flavor can shine more. Sweet fruit, some wood, excellent richness.

A- amber+1, high viscosity N- gentle, pleasant, fruity (apricots, plums, sultanas, tangerines) sweet (vanilla, honey, toffee), white pepper ( was not expecting this) P- gentle spicy arrival, full, rich, oily, fruity (apricots, plums, sultanas, tangerines), sweet (toffee, honey, vanilla) licorice, tart, walnuts, wet oak F- medium to long finish, sweet-fruity-nutty aftertaste C- ok mix feelings with this one, this bottle have been opened for 8 months now and to be honest at the beginning I was a bit disappointed (like my fellow distillers friends in here) so I let it seat for almost 6 months and decided to come back to this one not sure if my palate has evolved but I'm finding nice and interesting tasting notes this time

Gorgeous. Sherry hits on the nose, candied orange zest and butterscotch sweets. It's like a fight between that creamy mouthfeel and citrus.

Strong vanilla. Very smooth and a slightly fruitiness. Sweet maple syrup with an oak finish. While I feel that the 15 year was a better value, this is outstanding.
