Glengoyne 'Cask Strength Batch 006' (59.8%, OB, 2018) 
We had No 5 and No 7, but indeed No 6 was missing. Time to remedy that unbearable situation. Colour: gold. Nose: I have the feeling that this one was a little fresher than the others, and rather more on apples (goldens) and oranges. Then indeed, a few juicy sultanas and something like a pecan pie. Very very pleasant so far. With water: some white chocolate, madeleines, and drops of almond milk. No quibbling. Mouth (neat): really good, powerful of course, but fresh, with no leathery sherryness in the way (I find many hastily seasoned sherry casks too leathery). Apples and oranges again, walnut cake, Golden Grahams and then even more orange. That’s very good. With water: notes of bonbons coming out, and the faintest touch of natural rubber. No problemo. Finish: medium, clean, on pastries and cakes, with just a touch of leather/rubber again in the aftertaste. Comments: some very fine whisky, well composed, very classic, I liked it a little better than both 5 and 7.
