It's the sixth batch of Glengoyne's Cask Strength single malt, and once again they've produced an absolute belter of a whisky. It packs a punchy flavour profile of sherried malt and baking spices, with a twist of orange tucked away. Nose: Malty, barley-led nose with hints of cracked black peppercorns and pimento. Stewed fruit – particularly apple and pear, and candy floss. Buttery too, with notes of butterscotch and caramel. Palate: Baked apple and pear, doused in honey and baking spices. Intense ground almond notes, and a rich, thick malt core. Finish: Oaky, spiced finish. Cracking barley malt and zesty orange peel on the tail.
