Mild nose; bright, peppy, ripe pears; mild highland floral character. Taste is plain honeyed malt, cereal grains; a touch waxy; beer-like; saison? Blonde ale? Lingering floral sweetness and a touch of overused cask bitterness. From a 50ml sample with a questionable cap, so can’t be too harsh, but this is striking average malt whisky. I’ve heard the 12 is great, and the one other Glengoyne I had was great, so I am keeping an open mind.
