Nose

Sweet, honeyed and woody. Water brings out honey nut cornflakes, fruit and nut, oak, clover and a whiff of sap and the farmyard.

Palate

Soft and quite honeyed. Toasted almonds, rose, dolly mixtures. Sweeter than standard Glengoyne.

Finish

Sweet, but oak takes charge.

Comment

Scottish oak veneer? A fascinating experiment, but the really interesting malt, Glengoyne matured in Scottish oak refill, is yet to come.
