Glengoyne Legacy Series: Chapter One 2019

Nose - Raisins, figs, fig newtons, dark honey, caramel, flamed orange zest, chocolate, hint of grape soda Taste - Raisins, dark apple cider, sweet peppery heat, ginger, figs, caramel, hint of orange, lightly drying Finish - Lingering fruity heat, syrupy raisins, light metallic like from that of canned fruit, hint of fruity bitter fruit stems/vines Score - 91/100 Final Thoughts - This one didn't disappoint. The nose was incredible and lasts a very long time. I think the slightly higher proof helps with that without being too punchy with the alcohol vapors. The nose just keeps on going. Once it hits the palate it isn't as complex as the nose, but is still quite tasty. You can tell it's a younger spirit as it doesn't have that thick leathery mouthfeel of older Scotches, but is still quite nice. This is something I can see myself sipping on when I want a very nicely sherried dram. Finish could use a bit of work, but it's still quite pleasant. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Yes

Citrus, with a slightly sweet overtone, limited nose, but pleasant. Medium finish with light peppery notes.

Sherry and dried fruits/currants on the nose. Strong finish but iron-like sourness on the palate. Beautiful nose.

Nose:dried prunes,sweet Taste:strong,dark chocolate,fruity

I was very excited to try this new line from Glengoyne. It has great fruity flavors with a nice oak finish. It was a bit harsh on the first couple sips so I added a little water, let it sit and open up and by the time I got to the end of my glass maybe 30 mins later it had really come to life and became delightfully smooth and flavor packed. Definitely going to look for chapter 2 next year and grab another bottle of this before people discover how great it is!
