i bought this before i started examining sherried whiskies properly - and having arrived in whiskyland on the stable expression peat-bus, i was interested in the facts that glengoyne burnfoot is a completely unpeated expression, a nas, and a travel exclusive. it was a bad jumping off point to sherry given my journey to date. an unremarkable nose, heavy cereal notes on the palette and a finish that was frustratingly short. i've read other online reviews that talk of the wineiness across this dram - but i can't find it. to go back to the peat; a talisker port ruighe nas shows how to get some big wine notes to lift up a smokey base. And to go further into sherry; try a glenfarclas 105 nas and the wine is unmistakable. in short - glengoyne burnfoot is an interesting offering that is drinkable but unremarkable.

About this bottle
Opened in 1833, Glengoyne is a Highland distillery owned by Ian Macleod Distillers. The distillery prides itself on using the slowest distillation in Scotland, allowing the spirit ample time to interact with the still. Burnfoot is a travel-retail exclusive bottling, named for the original name of the distillery before it became Glengoyne in 1908 ("Valley of the Wild Geese"). Matured in a combination of first-fill and refill sherry casks, the Burnfoot carries no age statement and is bottled at 40% ABV.
