Thanks again to Davie Warner for this sample. Glengoyne 15 is hard to describe for me in some ways because it strikes right at the core of what I consider to be "scotch." It's a combination of malt, cereal grain, furniture polish, honey, and a bit of woodiness. It's a very pure, smooth expression of that flavor, and I think it's proofed just right, clear without feeling thin, but without the tongue burn or anesthetizing effect of higher proofs where this kind of quiet flavor profile would be nuked into oblivion. Pleasant finish, on the dry side, with some vetiver or lemongrass. To fall back on a wine analogy, this is a have-with-fish kind of scotch, and would be a recommendation for anyone who wants to get a sense of the "heart" notes in a scotch. I was surprised to see online that this scotch is aged in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. I frankly have a hard time detecting much (if any) sherry influence here, except perhaps in the lightest of touches of nuttiness and spiciness in the palate and finish -- which could just as easily be the power of suggestion.
