Glengoyne, Legacy Series: Chapter 3, Highlands, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (48%)

Description

Glengoyne Distillery, founded in the Scottish Highlands in 1833, is well-known for its unpeated single malts. It is also famed for its slow distillation process, which is the slowest in Scotland, allowing maximum flavour extraction and smoothness. The team here uses air-dried barley rather than peat-smoked, which results in lighter, fruitier styles.

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.
