Description
Glengoyne's 16-year-old single malt was finished in shiraz casks from Glenguin estate in Australia's Hunter Valley, creating an unusual bridge between Scottish tradition and Southern Hemisphere fruit. The shiraz finish layers dark berry, plum, and wine-soaked spice onto Glengoyne's characteristic honeyed, unpeated malt base. Expect a medium body with warming alcohol and a finish marked by sweet wine tannins and residual malt. A curious, fruit-driven dram for those intrigued by cross-continental cask experimentation.
