Glengoyne 10 was an impulse buy. We had heard many good things about the Glengoyne 25 (infinitely more expensive) but for $37, why not start out by trying the core expression? To our delight, it is an excellent value and highly recommended for its price point. It actually might also be our least expensive whisky in our house right now…
Tasting Notes
Tasted this without water in a Glencairn. I have to admit, the first three times I had this, I didn’t like it at all. But it’s grown on me and I now consider it an everyday post-work relaxation dram.
Nose: Bagels, green apples, and nuts. Vanilla incense.
Taste: At first, I wrote “bread, bread, bread.” Buttered toast, salted caramel, bread pudding, and pancakes. Ends with an apple cinnamon oatmeal note. And then a hint of chocolate and BBQ smoke at the end. Not very hot.
After a few sips, it turns into pure apple cinnamon Quaker oatmeal to me. That’s not a bad thing – I practically ate that every day for a solid 5 to 6 years of my life for breakfast. Voluntarily.
Overview
If it were a SMWS: “Wonderbread.” Tastes like a loaf of soft white bread with a light touch of honey drizzled on it. Not very complicated but delicious to a carb-fiend.
Bought for: $37 at K&L Wines
