- Description
- This single refill hogshead release from Glengoyne (2011-2023) balances delicate barley with buttery sweetness and elegant citrus zest, avoiding heavy oak despite the refill vessel. The Highland malt's light colouring and clean character remain prominent, with candied citrus and fresh orchard fruit beneath baking spice complexity. The modest oak impact suits those seeking spirit-forward character rather than cask dominance. A refined example of independent bottling from a distillery known for unpeated, fruit-forward malts.
