Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
most bizarrely, it’s as if this one was lighter than the ’97 and ’98 despite its higher strength. Much more on fresh almonds and walnuts, orange blossom water, early grey tea and leather, with also a little pine resin. With water: superb development on all things resinous and minty. Vicks, white chocolate, cut grass, damp earth. An unusual profile for Glengoyne
restaurant Palate
starts a little like the 1997, with an unusual fizziness and notes of lemon, but gets then more typically sherried, with notes of crystallised oranges and then eucalyptus drops, cough syrup and sultanas. Limoncello. With water: more of everything in the same direction. Lemon balm tea, cough drops, marzipan
timer Finish
long but just like the other two, it gets significantly woodier in the aftertaste
