35 YEAR OLD MACALLAN WHISKEY FULL
This is a complex malt full of tropical intensity rich licorice and dark chocolate finish. The copper stills remove any remaining sulphur in the wash, and produce the sweet, concentrated flavors that define Glengoyne Scotch Whisky.ĭistilled in the 1970’s this impeccably aged whisky is 35 years in the making. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled through Glengoyne's copper-pot wash still and then again through its two copper-pot spirit stills, working in tandem (whisky is distilled more slowly at Glengoyne than at any other distillery in Scotland). Once the Golden Promise barley has been air-dried, it is milled and mashed before being fermented for 56 hours in washbacks crafted from pine. Today, Glengoyne, along with The Macallan, is one of only two distilleries remaining in Scotland that continues to use Golden Promise barley. While it was popular in the production of whisky for many years, it gave way to cheaper barely that was higher in yield but lower in quality. Golden Promise is an early-maturing spring barley that has a depth of flavor ideal for single malts. Glengoyne Single Malt Whisky is produced exclusively from Golden Promise barley. As a result, while Glengoyne Single Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled in the Highlands region, it is matured in the Lowlands region, despite the fact that the distillery's stillhouse and maturation warehouses are across the street from each other. The distillery, which takes its name from "Glen Guin" or Glen of the Wild Geese, is situated directly atop the Highlands Line - the line that divides the Highlands and Lowlands regions of Scotland. Situated in a wooded valley in the Highlands region of Scotland, Glengoyne Distillery was founded by George Campbell and has been producing single malt whisky continuously since 1833. You might be forgiven for wondering if alcohol is in it at all.About Glengoyne 35 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky It’s more like Kool-Aid that didn’t quite mix right. Anybody accustomed to drinking whiskey will almost certainly be put off.
Non-whiskey drinkers with a sweet tooth will likely appreciate this fact about Dough Ball. Sitting on the table several feet away, a glass is strong enough to almost make my mouth start watering like one of Pavlov’s pooches. Forget needing to stick your nose into the glass. The nose on this whiskey delivers on the promise of the premise: It really smells like cookie dough as soon as you pour it into a glass. Nose: I’m a sucker for the smell of cookies baking (who isn’t?), and a big fan of uncooked cookie dough. Vital stats: Undisclosed mash bill, “whiskey with natural flavors and caramel color” according to the label 70 proof/35% alcohol by volume $29.99 at big-box retailers and liquor stores in states where it is distributed.Īppearance: Light caramel colored thin, watery legs on the side of the glass.

35 YEAR OLD MACALLAN WHISKEY SERIES
Labels like Skrewball and the Crown Royal flavor series show that the concept has legs beyond Fireball, too. But sales statistics don’t lie: Americans have been buying a lot of it for a long time now. For years, I’ve made jokes about Fireball and remained firmly in the “no, thank you” camp when it’s offered. I tend to think of Fireball – a blend of Canadian whisky, cinnamon flavoring, and sweeteners – as the category killer when it comes to flavored whiskies.
