An easy going blog for easy going malts
If there is one thing we have had a lot of recently its Glengoyne reviews. At this stage I am pretty much done with the distillery for the rest of the year. However, once more into the breach we go for the new limited edition series which had recently been put on sale. No this […]
The oldest currently available Glengoyne is the 30 year old. In my last review on the 25 year old I mentioned this new one is silly expensive. At £700 a bottle I am never going to recommend someone buys and opens this without knowing what they are getting in to. At a recent event there […]
We have looked at a number of Glengoyne’s recently and now its time for the one of the big guns in the range. The 25 Year Old is about as different to the 10 Year Old as you can get. Like I said in that previous review by the time the whisky has been maturing […]
After the previous review of the 18 Year Old from Glengoyne we are knocking it back slightly to the far younger 10 Year Old. Many people would have sequential ordering of their posts or even a post schedule but not here and not me. The 10 year old is the one most closely aligned with […]
I used to use Naked Wines a few years ago because if you drink grapes it has to be red for me. To me white is too tart and pink it too sweet but red is just right. Everyone is different of course but I digress. Naked Wines market this idea of the sweet spot […]
The coming weeks and months might see quite a few Glengoyne articles as they release their new Travel Retail release Legacy: Chapter 1. The whisky in question this time though is far easier to get hold of than a trip to the airside of an airport. The Glengoyne is one of the only whiskies in […]
Part two of my Marks & Spencer mini series for whisky exclusives. Part one was on the Tamdhu 12 at Tamdhu 12 Year Old – M&S Exclusive Glengoyne is the sister distillery in the Ian Macleod stable and this M&S exclusive provides an extra two years of maturation on the standard expression in a similar […]
After the detailed previous post of the Glengoyne distillery visit we have a more in-depth look at the cask I took a bottle of home with me. Well packaged in a nice special little presentation box this is a lovely little keep sake of your visit. The bottle has no label on it but a […]
The last installment in our mini series of distillery visits pre-blogging is with Glengoyne. Like the Auchentoshan post all the images here are not mine sadly because I didn’t think to take any. Future distillery posts however will include all my own poor quality photography. In November 2016 I took the “No1 Warehouse” tour on […]
