Glengoyne 18yo was released in 2012; it replaced the 17yo when the core range underwent a revamp. Matured in a combination of first-fill European oak sherry (35%), first-fill American oak sherry (15%) and refill oak casks (50%). Naturally coloured and bottled at 43%.

Nose: Awash with red apple and ripe melon. Heavenly and well rounded, it drifts into hot porridge topped with brown sugar.

Palate: Full bodied, round and rich. At first macerated fruits, marzipan and walnuts; then warm spices, dry cocoa and lingering Seville marmalade.

Finish: Long, warm and dry.
