GlenGoyne 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that delivers exceptional quality without breaking the bank?

As a certified spirits specialist, I can confidently say that GlenGoyne 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt represents outstanding value in the premium whisky category. What sets this expression apart is its unhurried distillation process—among the slowest in Scotland—and exclusive maturation in sherry casks, creating a remarkably smooth character. Those exploring Highland malts should compare this with the Glenmorangie 12 Years Original, though GlenGoyne’s sherry influence offers distinctly richer fruit notes. For those wanting to explore the range further, consider the GlenGoyne 15 Year Old expression.

• Distillery: Premium GlenGoyne, established 1833 in the Southern Highlands
• Region: International (Scotland) – known for gentle, approachable Highland character
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced strength that opens beautifully with a splash of water
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 12 years exclusively in hand-selected sherry casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals toffee apple and subtle almonds; palate delivers creamy malt with raisins and gentle spice; finish is warm with lingering sherry sweetness
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature, or with a few drops of water to release aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly forgiving for newcomers while offering enough complexity to satisfy experienced collectors. The sherry cask influence is pronounced yet balanced—never overwhelming the delicate malt foundation.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, corporate appreciation gifts, or starting a personal collection. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian dishes like beef rendang, dark soy braised pork belly, or even chocolate desserts. Recommended for: Both whisky newcomers and collectors seeking everyday luxury, especially those who appreciate the GlenGoyne 18 Year Old’s profile but prefer accessible pricing at RM 220.
