Great review Rob! I love Glengoyne whiskies and I agree with you I find the 18yr tastier than the 21yr. I purchased a 25yr old recently and oh man it is DELICIOUS. I almost wish it wasn’t this good as now I must go out and buy some more. I haven’t had the privilege of having the 30yr yet, but hopefully I will find a decently priced bottle soon.
I really like the family run down format! Well done video, great comments, good rank order concept. Well done, Rob! I was shopping for a bottle of Glengoyne and trying to decide between the 12 and 15. You helped me decide on the 12 and save some money. Where are you based in CA?
Fully agree that the 18 is superior to the 21. Haven't had the opportunity to sample the 25 or 30 - but the 18 is my personal favorite Scotch whiskey to date.
Great video and review Rob. I was considering purchasing the 21 but not too fond the the excessive oaky finish that you described. Opening the 18 soon so looking forward to it.
Hi Rob. I always enjoy watching your reviews, but this was truly exceptional. I still have an unopened bottle of a discontinued 17yo Glengoyne. I’m also planing to buy a 25yo in the near future. Cheers buddy.
great review Rob. Recently my wife and I had a whisky night and compared around a dozen or so sherried malts. Our conclusions are the same as yours. 18,12,then 15. The 12 was very close to the 18 and I love the coconut and banana notes that I haven't got anywhere else.
Whisky In The 6 I have 12 and Cask Strength, but just ordered myself 15, 18 and 21 😂 mainly because it is good value for such an old whisky (and beautiful packaging)... I’m actually re-assured by your saying it is oaky (too many older whiskies don’t taste old... more active casks would give more Oak influence over time, so I am looking forward to that!)
Dylan Northrup there’s a ton of great reviewers that prefer the 21 over the 25. There’s no wrong answer. It’s all preference my friend. All great choices.
Whisky In The 6 I don’t have many old single malts in my collection, so I’ll be excited to try Glengoyne 21 and also Glenfarclas 21 (both fair priced where I found them). I loved my sample tasting of Highland Park 21, but could never justify $480
I can find the 18, its 170 USD. For 170 I could get Old Pulteny 21, COMPASS BOX PHENOMENOLOGY, SPRINGBANK 18, current OCTOMORE or AncNoc 22. What to buy?
@@WhiskyInThe6 Massive peat fan but I like all kinds of scotch, thanks for the video and the suggestion. It would be cool if you would check out my best whiskies of 2018. Cheers!
Rob your breaking my heart.... lol I still havnt found a bottle of that G&M balblair to try for myself... pretty sad I think its a goner. Love this video format tho bud keep it up!
I got the 12 after you mentioned in another video that it was your absolute favorite 12y scotch. I found it to be extraordinarily unremarkable, really very little on the nose/palate. Has the quality dropped off in the years since you’ve done these videos?
I have only had the 10 some four years ago, and was not impressed... Glengoyne is rather scarce in my locality... I have a lot of Glengoyne tasting to do!
Nice review. I only have the 10 and 12 but I should be trying others at the distillery tour next month. Hoping to pick up a teapot dram while I am there.
I love the 25 yo, we finished that bottle quickly - but fortunately, I have another still unopened! I agree it is, for me, one of the very best in this style. Also have a second bottle of the 21 as yet unopened. Odd I missed the 18 - so thanks to this review I will have to go find it! That 30 yo sounds amazing - its a bit beyond my price point unfortunately. Thanks again for your work.
Aha ! u don't have the 2006 GGoyne-12 yo 57.2% (yes, AGE stated !) cask strength with Her Majesty' emblem BEFORE that duck/geese emblem on the bottle, AND, AND, AND the Goyn-12 all sherry with the 3-barley branch emblem 43% ... so, how will I barter: 2 dram of mine to 1 dram of your 30 yo ??? or bring them to the Toronto Whisk Soc. ???
lol... I actually split the Goyne 30 with someone so I don't have it anymore. That 12 year sounds incredible though. I think I may have to join TWS eventually.
Very late to the party here in the comments. If you take price/value into account it is hard to beat the Legacy Chapter 1. Still around if you look it's 48% NCF goodness.
IMHO the Glengoyne 10 is the best value of the lot. The 12 year is second in my book. Forget the rest. The 18+ are too cask forward and woody for my taste.
Fantastic Video!! It would be great to see one of the Glendronach range! Cheers and thank you!!
Glendronach one was up about a month later.
@@WhiskyInThe6 yes sir, watched and enjoyed, Cheers!
Glengoyne is major bang for your buck. Here in Southern California, I picked up a few bottles of the 12 yo for $27 each.
Insane price. Very nice.
Great review....the Legacy series is really good. 48% and goes for $94 Australian dollars. The cask strength is going for $99. Great value.
Got to try it. You’re right it’s great.
Glengoyne Cask Strength is my favourite.
Great review Rob! I love Glengoyne whiskies and I agree with you I find the 18yr tastier than the 21yr. I purchased a 25yr old recently and oh man it is DELICIOUS.

Ya those are not cheap unfortunately.
Great show Rob, really liking the rundown of the family of a single brand, very nice. Cheers my friend
thanks brother
Honestly, one of your best reviews ever. I picked up a bottle of Glengoyne 25 last week and can’t wait to try it.
+Malty Alty thanks buddy appreciate that.
Great idea and very well done. Thank you for sharing! ...super valuable video!
Respectfully greetings from 🇩🇪

mosesumike cheers my friend. Thank you.
Excellent, loved the run down. Great job with this video.
+HillbillySelectReviews thanks buddy. Cheers!

very nice - enjoyed this format A LOT!!
+WhiskyJason thanks buddy
Glengoyne 25 and 30 is near the top of my bucket list of bottles to grab (when I have a bit more money haha)
Great video and review Rob. I was considering purchasing the 21 but not too fond the the excessive oaky finish that you described. Opening the 18 soon so looking forward to it.
+Tony Ditommaso I think you’ll love the 18.
Top to bottom quality whisky. That 30 is epic stuff! Really need to get our hands on a Tea Pot!
Sippers Social Club absolutely
Great review. Out of curiosity, what is the one whisky that was better than the 30?
+Christopher Rivera G&M Mortlach 1987
Great overview of the range Rob.
+Whiskey Straight thank you
Excellent review from a Glengoyne fan. First distillery I toured 2012 and it was memorable...to include Teapot that I still have
teapots are great
Hi Rob.
I always enjoy watching your reviews, but this was truly exceptional. I still have an unopened bottle of a discontinued 17yo Glengoyne. I’m also planing to buy a 25yo in the near future.
Cheers buddy.
+Felix Berkowitz the 17 is the one who got away for me. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers.
Nice run down Rob. That Teapot Dram sounds like it’s a must have
+Whiskey Quests ya I need it lol
great review Rob. Recently my wife and I had a whisky night and compared around a dozen or so sherried malts. Our conclusions are the same as yours. 18,12,then 15. The 12 was very close to the 18 and I love the coconut and banana notes that I haven't got anywhere else.
mark hanson awesome. Love that coconut note. Hope they can keep that consistent.
I just happen to enjoy a combination of 1/3 Glengoyne 18 with 2/3 Glendronach 12...pretty tasty.
Glengoynes 18 and 25 are in my top 5 list. You cant go wrong with these. I need to get my hands on that 30!
+Juan Gonzalez it’s delicious
What are other 3 on your top 5 list ?. Thanks.
Glengoyne is definitely one of those distilleries worth exploring! Thanks for the rundown!
+Dylan Northrup totally agree Dylan. My pleasure.

Surprised the 12 beat out the 15. I’ve been a fan of the 12 for years. Same with the 18 over the 21.
H. Hemphill love the coconut from the 12.
We have a supermarket exclusive Glengoyne 14 in the UK. Have you tried that?
+Toby Field no but that sounds amazing. What’s the abv?
@@WhiskyInThe6 only 40% I'm afraid but it is natural colour.
+Toby Field ah yes Roy has this
@@WhiskyInThe6 I thought he would
Do you prefer the Goyne 12 or the Dronach 12?
+Mark Saliba Goyne.
The best Glengoyne I have tasted so far is the Teapot dram when I were in Edinburgh two years ago.
+bedlamborn so good.
I can find the 18, its 170 USD. For 170 I could get Old Pulteny 21,
COMPASS BOX PHENOMENOLOGY, SPRINGBANK 18, current OCTOMORE or AncNoc 22. What to buy?
It's $170CAD in Ontario.
@@marksaliba4194 Good price!
Jamison Moeckel probably Octomore the. If you’re a big fan of peat.
@@WhiskyInThe6 Massive peat fan but I like all kinds of scotch, thanks for the video and the suggestion. It would be cool if you would check out my best whiskies of 2018. Cheers!
+Jamison Moeckel will do man. Thanks.
Great channel bro! Subscribed!!
Awesome buddy. Cheers.
Goyne 30 or HP 30?
That’s the question
So what is the name on the better one then 30yr glengoyne, fore me i like better 21yr then 18yr but is a close call.
per kristian sandgren that review is coming soon.
So glengoyne 15 or 18 value for money??
+suhel nagarsenkar the 18 for sure.
It beats the G&M Balblair?
+Travis H yes sir
Rob your breaking my heart.... lol I still havnt found a bottle of that G&M balblair to try for myself... pretty sad I think its a goner. Love this video format tho bud keep it up!
+Travis H lol I’m sorry brother. We should chat soon. Hope you kept one of those Mac Ed 1s for yourself.
Rob I actually dont have any of the Mac editions! The local grocer has the 3 i think tho.
+Travis H I love the Ed. 3
This is a great video and I think this new format is great.
I do have something else to say that is more personal so I'll send you a DM on twitter.
+CitySteading k cool sounds good.
I got the 12 after you mentioned in another video that it was your absolute favorite 12y scotch. I found it to be extraordinarily unremarkable, really very little on the nose/palate. Has the quality dropped off in the years since you’ve done these videos?
Totally possible. Seems to be the theme with all Glengoynes at the moment.
@@WhiskyInThe6 What would be one of your top recommendations for a 12-year-old at the moment?
12 year coconut. Really good 12 best 12 year old whisky
I have only had the 10 some four years ago, and was not impressed... Glengoyne is rather scarce in my locality... I have a lot of Glengoyne tasting to do!
Hard not to love Glengoyne. Enjoyed this resumé Rob, ✌
Aqvavitae thank you 🙏🏻
glengoyne 25 ? Is it worth the $$ ?
Needs a lot of time to open up. Up to you and how patient you are.
Hmmm I guess I’ll just have to try it.
Nice review. I only have the 10 and 12 but I should be trying others at the distillery tour next month. Hoping to pick up a teapot dram while I am there.
+The Whisky Bowman that’s a must. I’m sure they have other amazing distillery exclusives though.
This distillery is 10min from my house
Lucky guy
I keep eyeing that Jack Daniels over there lol
+Seattle206723 lol it’s delicious
Sounds like the half first fill, half second fill has allowed the 30 year to be much fruitier than the 25 year old which is all first fill sherry.
+Malt Reviews must be that. Smart choice I think.
Mouthwatering!!!!!
Dude, the 15yr is a little better than the 12 yr for me.
+Max Powder to each their own I guess.
Whisky In The 6 that is so NOT true
I love the 25 yo, we finished that bottle quickly - but fortunately, I have another still unopened! I agree it is, for me, one of the very best in this style.

+Gary K glad to hear you have some back ups Gary. Cheers brother happy you liked the video.
Woah ok this is epic
Ah now I really want the 25. Luckily it is "just' $300 here in CA. Great round up thanks.
+Captain 3D great price. Cheers
