Glengoyne The Russell Family Single Cask #1549 Whisky 36 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Warm amber-gold with a coppery sheen and a touch of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Opulent sherry aromas envelop polished oak and barley, delivering dark plum, fig and raisin with bright twists of orange zest. Toasted almond and a whisper of cocoa mingle with vanilla and spice, a warm, refined sweetness that hints at decades in a cask. Subtle leather and oak harmonize with a quiet, dignified richness.

Palate

Silky and medium-full on the palate, this 36-year-old wears a refined glaze of refill sherry—dried plum, raisin and fig mingle with dark chocolate, orange zest and a touch of toasted almond. Cinnamon and clove spice fold in softly, while oak lends structure and a peppery warmth that carries through a long velvet finish with lingering fruit and espresso notes.

Finish

Long and refined, the finish opens with dark raisin, fig and orange peel, sprinkled with milk chocolate under a sherried glow. Velvety warmth lingers over polished oak, almond and spice, tapering to a delicate, lasting sweetness that invites the next sip.
