Glengoyne, 15-Year-Old, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (43%)
- Scotch Whisky
Product: 10008011651
Description
Complex, sweet and rounded – with a spicy oak finish. This is the taste of distilling slower than anyone in Scotland, and of barley dried by air, not peat. The flavours develop in sherry casks – balancing deep character with light vanilla notes.
Nose: Initial hit of sweet lemon gives way to warm toffee popcorn.
Palate: Oily and mouth coating. Sweet citrus becomes walnuts and a nip of cinnamon.
Finish: Drying with subtle oak.

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
