Single malt Scotch whisky distillery Glengoyne is known for high-quality, award-winning expressions. Recently, it announced the launch of not one single malt whisky but a new range of whiskies called White Oak.

Glengoyne White Oak will debut with not one but two expressions in its Oak Masters’ Series. The two single malt whiskies are Glengoyne White Oak, a new, permanent addition to the brand’s core range, and the limited-edition White Oak 24-Year-Old.

Known for its sherry-forward single malt style, Glengoyne’s new expressions are completely matured in American-sourced Ex-bourbon and Virgin oak barrels.

Glengoyne White Oak is an award-winning 47.8% ABV whisky that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of oak, citrus, ginger spice, violet, and sponge cake and leads into a palate of crème brûlée, fruit gum sweets, candied lemon, jam tarts, and tinned pineapple.

Glengoyne White Oak 24-Year-Old is a 47.8% limited-release that the brand says begins with a nose of vanilla, toasted oak, lemon curd, honey, plum jam, coconut, spiced apple pastry, and lime zest. The palate is a mix of lemon, key lime pie, honeycomb, tropical notes, star anise, chocolate, and vanilla.

“As part of our new Oak Masters’ Series, we are releasing two exceptional Glengoyne whiskies, fully matured exclusively in American White Oak, including a remarkable limited 24-year-old,” Gordon Dundas, Brand Advocacy Director, said in a press release. ”

“With this new range, we are expanding our core offerings and broadening the taste profile, while staying true to the character that has made Glengoyne celebrated since 1833. Where the traditional range is characterized as sherry-forward, this White Oak range delivers a light and golden flavor profile, with a single malt that is distinctly lighter in natural color. This is an exceptional range for both long-time fans and new whisky enthusiasts.”

Dark rums for whiskey fans

These rums are a great choice for whiskey drinkers

rum bottles

There’s no disputing the appeal of whisk(e)y. Whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, or others. There’s something special about this barrel-aged spirit. But it’s not the only aged spirit, and if you’re limiting your sipping to this style, you’re missing out on some other special, flavorful spirit. Especially dark rum.

I’ve spent years imbibing the various forms of whiskey. But every now and then, I branch out and pour myself a glass of dark rum instead. Unsurprisingly, the two spirits have some of the same aromas and flavors. Since both are matured in wood barrels, they impart flavors like caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and oak (among others). If you don’t already, you should branch out and add dark rum to your aged spirits rotation.

Gins so good you’ll want to drink them neat

You might want to at least sip these gins before mixing with them

Tanqueray No 10

Gin is one of the only spirits that you see on a shelf, and regardless of the quality, you assume you’re going to take it home and mix it with other ingredients to make a cocktail. To many, the thought of drinking gin neat never even occurs to them. Even if they enjoy the juniper, floral, and botanical aromas and flavors of their favorite gin, they still prefer to mix it with other ingredients to make it more palatable.

But it also shouldn’t surprise you that some people enjoy drinking their gin neat or at least prefer a gin that they could drink neat if they chose to do so. Personally, I am one of those people. I enjoy gin so much that I try my best not to mask its flavors with overpowering ingredients. Sure, I like a good Gin & Tonic from time to time. But it’s definitely going to be heavier on gin than tonic if you know what I mean.

For years, getting your hands on a Woodinville single barrel meant knowing a guy — a specific retailer, a whiskey club, or a trip to the distillery to bottle one yourself. That's about to change.

Starting July 7, the Washington-based distillery is taking its Single Barrel Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon and Single Barrel Cask Strength 7 Year 100% Rye national for the first time, both at an MSRP of $69.99.
