Part of the Oak Masters’ Series, this limited release sees Glengoyne’s unpeated Highland spirit matured in a mix of refill and first fill sherry casks for ten years before spending a further six in Mizunara oak. Known for its rarity and complexity, Mizunara adds a distinctly Eastern influence to the whisky’s character, an intriguing contrast to Glengoyne’s classic rounded, fruity style.
Bottled at 53.4% ABV, this is a richer and more concentrated take on Glengoyne, shaped slowly over time without a set finish date. The result is a whisky that brings together the delicate sweetness of the distillate with the structure, spice and gentle incense-like quality of Mizunara oak.
Tasting Note by Glengoyne:Nose: Spiced apple, baked sponge cake, light hazelnut, coconut, mandarin, peach, soft toffee, oak and lime.Palate: Soft, rounded, silky mouthfeel. Sweet almonds, stewed pear, more lime, crisp oak, milk chocolate truffle, vanilla and a hint of baked banana.Finish: Long with cream covered fruits, sultanas and a lasting nuttiness.
