[MM-MALTS-L] Glengoyne 12yo cask strength

[Davin de Kergommeaux]

Hi Dave,
I agree with you, this is a lovely dram.  I just poured one to compare.  I
cannot find the neoprene and definitely no coal-tar soap (too bad it's a
great smell).  But as Harry says, different days, different smells.  Mild
milk chocolate for sure and very quaffable.  I'll buy another bottle when
this one runs dry.
