This delicious malt whisky has notes of ginger, vanilla, sea spray and spice.


Ross Brown will present this evenings second Single Malt, from the whisky distilling region of the Highlands.  Glengoyne 18 yo is a replacement for Glengoyne's 17yo that appeared in their revamped range in late 2012. This tasty dram is a mix of refill sherry casks and a generous mix of first-fill sherry-matured whisky.


Dave Cuthbertson will talk to the special characteristics of a Single Cask Whisky, such as the BenRiach 1998 Single Cask.  This is an 18 year old triple distilled BenRiach single malt, released as part of their 13th batch of single cask bottlings.  It was finished a Pedro Ximénez Sherry puncheon - 670 bottles were produced.

This whisky has been matured in bourbon barrels, before being transfer into quarter casks, and a third maturation in Oloroso sherry European oak butts. A flavour that is filled with oodles of peat smoke and sweetness.
