Home Tasting: Glen Goyne 10 Year Old Official Bottling from the 1980s

The impressionable, smooth flavor was notable. Glen Goyne GLENGOYNE 10yo OB 40% Circulated in the 1980s ・Aroma: A pleasant old-world feel, dried apricot, ripe orange, well-fermented barley with a solid cream and milk tea note, honey, complex and deep. ・Flavor: Smooth mouthfeel, a creamy texture with a slightly viscous thickness, apricot jam and marmalade, milk tea infused with coffee freshener, a rich barley flavor that lingers on the tongue, a honeyed sweetness with depth, and a luxurious oak character. ・Aftertaste: The sweet, orange-cream-like aftertaste lingers for a long time. ・Dilution: Extends naturally without breaking down. ・Overall Impression: Wrapped in a pleasant old-world feel, with concentrated fruit and milk tea nuances, and a savory barley character reminiscent of classic old standards. The body remains present, with just the right amount of aged character—this seems like the perfect time to enjoy it. 【Good/Very Good】 This Glen Goyne official 10-year-old bottling circulated in the 1980s. Although considerable time has passed since bottling, its condition is excellent, exhibiting the concentrated fruitiness, deeply penetrating barley character, and creamy milk tea nuances described above. Particularly notable is the creaminess, which would likely lead one to guess Glenrothes in a blind tasting. I believe this is an exceptionally well-crafted official standard malt.
