Glengoyne 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700ml, Scotland, 40%, $80.

Glengoyne Scotch near Glasgow is known for being "unhurried since 1833". That's because Glengoyne's custom-made oak casts (made from sherry casks) take six years to prepare, their malted barley is dried by air rather than peat, and their stills are proudly "the slowest in Scotland". What does all this mean? In a nutshell, this is a whisky worth your while. It's slightly sherry sweet on the nose but the palate leans more towards malt, dried fruit, apples and a distinct nuttiness. There is a balance of grassy and fruity at play. The new-look Glengoyne collection features 100 per cent recyclable and reusable packaging. This 10-year is soft and easy to drink but not too harsh on the hip pocket. Give it a go if you are keen to taste Scottish slow distillation at its best.
