Our take on the Glengoyne 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glengoyne 15 Year Old is a Highland single malt from a distillery that never uses peat, so the smoke is absent and the malt and cask do the talking. It is matured in a mix of bourbon barrels and sherry casks, bottled at 43%, and left un-chill-filtered. Expect toffee, caramel and nuts with medium fruit and a medium finish. It sits in the middle of Glengoyne's age range, between the 12 and the 18, and is a steady rather than rare bottling, so its price tends to stay close to its usual level.

Questions and answers

Is Glengoyne 15 peated?
No. Glengoyne dries its barley without peat smoke, so the 15 Year Old has no smoke character. Its flavor comes from the malt and the bourbon and sherry casks.
How does it compare with Glengoyne 12 and 18?
The 15 sits between them: more sherry and toffee than the 12, less depth and age than the 18. If you want the fullest Glengoyne flavor, the 18 is the step up; the 15 is the balanced middle.
Is it chill-filtered?
No, it is not chill-filtered, and it is bottled at 43%. That keeps more of the cask oils and texture in the bottle than a filtered 40% malt.
What does it taste like?
Caramel, toffee and nuts with medium fruit and medium oak, a medium body and a medium finish. There is no smoke.
Is it gluten-free?
It is listed as gluten-free. Whisky is distilled from barley, and distillation removes gluten proteins, so most single malts are considered gluten-free.
When is the best time to buy it?
It is a standard bottling, so it rarely sells out. Watch for it to dip below its usual level during whisky promotions and holiday sales rather than paying full price.
