Member Ratings and Notes

D.J.

Yumtastic. This is from heaven.

Mike

Woody, a bit too much of it adds bitterness that keeps the rating down.

Andy

Like lickin' the cask! Deep flavor. The best Glengoyne I know of. (sorry Duncan)

Extraordinarily smooth. Subtle maple. Brown sugar. Mid-length finish. A very, very solid and sophisticated whisky. Excellent!

Thick sherry/cinnamon nose, what a great rich color. Light smoke, thick on the palate, but easy to drink. Complex rolling flavors and nice wood notes.

Adam

Wow, a super-syrupy nose! Sherry of course. Yummy, yummy richness. This bottle will be killed quickly. [It was indeed killed quickly].
