Glengoyne Bartels Single Cask #14038 Whisky 17 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Bright gold with warm honey-amber highlights.

Nose

Bright vanilla and creamy toffee rise from the glass, mingling with crisp orchard fruit—green apple and pear—plus a citrus zest. Subtle oak spice and a waxy, polished depth deepen the aroma, with touches of honey and almond lending a warm, inviting sweetness.

Palate

Silky and creamy, this Glengoyne unfurls vanilla and warm toffee from the bourbon cask, with orchard fruit—pear and apple—dusted in citrus zest. Gentle oak spice, a whisper of cinnamon and ginger, frames a refined mid-palate. The texture remains airy and silky, finishing with lingering vanilla, honeyed fruit and bright citrus.

Finish

Long, elegant finish of vanilla bean and toffee, carried by creamy oak. Bourbon warmth lingers with citrus zest and dried fruit, while a delicate spice of cinnamon and nutmeg threads through. The sweetness settles into a refined, honeyed fade, leaving a soft, warming echo on the palate.
