Founded by William Mitchell in 1872 but ceasing distillation in 1925, the Glengyle Distillery has been used for various other purposes over the years (none of them for distilling). In the year 2000, three quarters of a century later, Glengyle has re-opened and become Campeltown’s oldest newest distillery. They source water from Crosshill Loch, same as its neighbor Springbank. This was released in 2014 with 9000 bottles.

I don’t like this. It’s not my preference. Immediately I was hit with the odor of new tires. On the taste, that same rubber with some light honey and floral notes underneath. I can understand why some people like it, it’s just not for me.
A truly wonderful addition to the malt map. WIP 1 was amazing for its age and everything since has been superb. WIP 6 aged in Sherry casks is to die for!
C&B 8/16. Balance of peat & sherry, black bitter chocolates. Slightly bitter aftertaste.
