Glengoyne Legacy Series: Chapter 3 is a single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 48% ABV. It was matured in American oak sherry casks from Glengoyne’s warehouses and honors Sir Arthur John Tedder, the exciseman at Glengoyne who influenced the 1908 Royal Commission on Whiskey, which helped define Scotch whisky standards.
Notes of dark raisin, Medjool dates, and blackberry present a rich, if somewhat monochromatic, profile. A bit of marshmallow fluff and cinnamon sugar emerge before the finish arrives and continues this whisky’s well-sherried march across the palate with more dark berry notes and a bit of orange oil.
But, if you enjoy other Glengoyne whiskies, and are able to find a bottle of this, I would certainly recommend giving it a try. The style of whisky for me is very approachable and something that could easily be brought out to share at any kind of event.
