- In Whisky in the 6 #45 Rob reviews Glengoyne 21 year old scotch. This Highland scotch has been aged exclusively in first fill and re-fill sherry casks. Glengoyne remains one of only two distilleries in Scotland to use Golden Promise barley. The distillery takes pride in the fact that they dry their barley with heated air and never peat.
Hi Rob,
Just bought a bottle of this one in Budapest for approx 130eur. I already had the Glendronach 18 and 21 years old. By the way i think that the 18 was slightly better than the 21. The 21 was too intense for my palate. But they both were absolutely amazing.
I enjoy the 18 more as well.Cheers buddy.
Got the full bottle myself. Opened and drinking it. One of the best sherry-matured whiskys for sure! Got a sample box with the 10, 15 and the 18 as well. The 18 was delicious. Its on my wishlist. Saw a video from the distillery and its a place a want to visit!
When it comes to the 25, the price start to get ridiculous. So I guess I will never taste that one...
Great reviews by the way! Look forward to the next one!
That the 21 is great. The 18 is very similar. A touch less oaky. Perhaps slighter more fresh.
Ya, about 250£ on masterofmalt.com. I'm Canadian, so that would be about $500.
The 10yr is shit but from 12 is azome, 18 is reely reely nice 21 is youst amazing
Great job on the review. I have yet to try any Glengoyne. I will defiantly try the 18 if I can find it.
Is the Glengoyne 21 sweeter then the Glendronach 21?
I love the Glendronach 21
It's not as sweet as the dronach 21 but also not as peppery.
In the beginning, I thought I definitely preferred the Glengoyne 18 over 21, mostly due to 21's prominent oakiness. However, after a couple of months of opening, the oakiness has faded more into background, probably giving more "complexity" now. Still, the 18 is so close to 21, I think I'll just buy the much cheaper 18 next time. BTW, I would LOVE to try Glengoyne that is non chill-filtered...
+drjlo1 just reading that you already tried these. Glendronach 18 is also a beauty.
@@WhiskyInThe6 glendronach 21 is the best bud becomes expensive bro
I visited the Glengoyne distillery a little over a year ago and they said they stopped using Golden Promise, probably due to lower yields. But older ones like this were originally Golden Promise malt.
Picked up my bottle of this 21 yo for £99 at distillery. Haven’t opened it yet.
That’s too bad to hear. Great price for the 21.
Own a bottle of Glengoyne 15 and it is good. I believe your correct on the Glengoyne line going up and that their barley choice does affect the malt in a good way. Still a novice in the field but, wish there more different barley used by distillers to make things interesting. Enjoyed the insight on matters and will aim for the 18.
Have you had the Macallan 18(around $250 usd) or Highland Park 18?
I've had Highland Park 18. Good stuff. Macallan age statement whisky isn't available in Toronto at all aside from the 21 so I haven't tried the 18 just yet but I will somehow someday. Thanks for watching, cheers.
Glengoyne 15 and 18 are staples for me. Also love Glendronach 12 and 15. Now debating between Glengoyne 21 and Glendroch 18. What's your opinion?
Aaron Asche I think I still prefer the 18. A little less oak.
Thanks. I love the 18 and was skeptical about paying $120 more for the 25. Going to try the Allardice next!
*Glendronach
Sweet dessert tooth here, chosen ones would be Glengoyne 18, GlenDronach 21 Palament. What are yours profile ?.
glendronach 21 is the best even better as the 18 en 21 Glengoyne bud expensive today thr glendronach 21where i live the qlenqoyne 21 is 170 euro en de glendronach 21 is today 220 euro
I have the Glengoyne 15 and it is just ok. I think personally I would skip the 18 and just go for the 21. Great review.
In all honesty I think I like the 18 better than the 21. The 18 is one of my favourite of all time.
Rob, my interest has been peaked! Good work
Thanks Mark. You can't go wrong with Glengoyne any age.
Great review! I've been watching you for a while now. I don't know whether to get the 18 or the 21. By the way, what is the size of that bottle? is it 700ml or 750ml ? Thanks!
I really enjoyed the 21 but preferred the 18 to be honest. I believe the bottles are 750 ml. Cheers.
Sampled the 25yr at Summerhill, it was very nice! Great rich sherry notes
I need to get my hands on that.
Available in Alberta.
Haha. What isn't available in Alberta? I honestly want to move there solely for the scotch prices
+VaryingViewpoint really... How much?
One store has it for $449.95 all in.
Cant wait to try this!!!
There's still some left at my place.
Great video. I stumbled across your channel, and immediately subscribed to it.
Just one question: Are your sure with the statement that the 18 also uses 100% sherry casks (4:51)? I myself thought, from tasting it, that it feels as if there's a bit of bourbon influence; so I tried to check that:
In several web shops, the 18 is marked as "sherry + bourbon casks", and on their official website, they say in the their tasting video of the 21 that "[compared to the 18yo] we moved up a gear, because here, we're a 100% sherry cask matured." Which is no definite proof, but a very strong evidence.
You're probably right. I know that the 18 is 50 first fill Sherry based on the UA-cam video. Could have sworn they stopped mixing bourbon casks in after the 15 year. I'll look into it some more to make sure. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
The 18y old is 60% sherry c. and 40% exb. c.
Great review. But for me, I was very disappointed in it as it had a very bitter after taste. So much so that I blended it with a Glendronach cask-strangh that I didn't like from last year. Together they're great!
Very interesting. This one isn't bitter. I wonder if they were from different batches.
W6, I opened up my Glengoyne 21 while watching the Warriors lose a game they should of won. Anyway's you already know the nose & tasting notes. I must say, what a difference between the 21 & 15. I have no reason to go purchase the 18. I feel I would be going backwards and not much price difference anyways. What a tasty dram it is. Definitely will be buying a 2nd bottle costing only about $105 at TWE....
Another great price Keith. I would say the 18 and 21 are very different. I prefer the 18 to be honest. A little more on the fruity side.
W6, might get a sample from TWE with my next order.
oh the beauties of masters of malt
You should try Glenfarclas.
I did a review on Glenfarclas 25. Pretty good stuff.
One of my favorite drams. The 25 yo is even more delicious.
They dont char sherry barrels
It is almost as smooth as a 25 yr old whisky.... But does leave a espresso coffee flavour in your mouth next day....
I re-reviewed this one in a more recent video. I upped the mark as well.
the 21 glenqoyne 21 is better them the 18 year old en yes i am olso big fan of tomatin i have the 12 the 14 the 18 en the 21 tomatin olso i really want the older tomatin olso byd yes i am olso big fan of tomatin distilery
Bought this the other day. Underwhelming, bland, lacking character. Will not buy again.
It's so hit or miss.
