- Description
- Glengoyne's 23-year-old 1986 single-cask release (cask #399) from a sherry butt demonstrates the distillery's capacity for age-worthiness despite its characteristically light colour compared to heavily sherried peers. The extended maturation has developed the Highland distillery's refined orchard fruit and subtle oak character into a complex, nuanced expression. The texture remains elegant throughout, avoiding over-extraction. A bottle for those who value distillery character over cask dominance.
