Glengoyne Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 46%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $155 (bottle).
Colour: Shimmering topaz.
Nose: Very soft, quite delicate actually. Pineapple jubes, soft hay and freshly baked lemon tarts.
Palate: A sweet-spicy dichotomy. Raw sugar, cinnamon scrolls with a hint of cloves, washed down with creaming soda. A rich, creamy, oily mouthfeel.
Finish: The creamy sweet flavours fade, leaving the spices and oaky notes to poke through. Medium length.
Comments: Finished in ex Pedro Ximenez casks after initial maturation in European oak, this Glengoyne Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish has a robust juicy sweetness and fantastic balance with the spicy oaky notes. The 46% ABV is also a great balance, affording plenty of rich flavours to shine through whilst being an approachable ABV point for most drinkers.
