About Glengoyne Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12Yr
Glengoyne 12 Year Old is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky, produced by Glengoyne Distillery and imported by Park Street Imports, bottled at 43% ABV in a 750ml size for $51.99. What makes it special is its slow distillation process and maturation in a mix of first-fill sherry and bourbon casks, yielding natural rich gold color, unpeated smoothness with subtle intensity from sherry wood, balanced by fresh citrus and vanilla from bourbon. It's ideal for those seeking an accessible daily dram—beginners appreciating its smoothness or seasoned drinkers wanting a light, Highland style without heavy peat. In its category, it stands out for value among 12-year singles malts, offering Speyside-like fruitiness with Highland crispness, though some find it light compared to bolder sherry bombs like Macallan; reviews praise its balance but note short finish, scoring 6-9/10 overall.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma opens with coconut oil, honey, and lemon zest, complemented by toffee apples and dried oak. Subtle layers of red apple, herbal licorice, dark chocolate, dried fruits like sultanas and figs, and hints of nougat or pink grapefruit emerge with time. It's light and pleasant, requiring a deeper sniff to reveal its full sweet, citrusy profile.
👅 Palate
On the palate, toffee apples dominate with cinnamon spice, ginger, orange, and vanilla richness. Citrus intensity, caramel, milk chocolate, warming black pepper, nutmeg, and nougat provide a silky, soft mouthfeel that's slightly spicy yet smooth. Buttery notes and peanut butter add depth, making it feel light but balanced like a Speyside style.
✨ Finish
The finish is medium-long with barley, soft oak, sherry sweetness, and a hint of smoke or walnut, fading sharply without bitterness.
