"  Ever wonder what whiskey-industry insiders are drinking around the holidays? Us, too. Eat Like a Man&amp;#039;s 12 Days of Whiskey asks the craft&amp;#039;s most respected master distillers what bottles are on their holiday wish lists. And so our whiskey quest ends not far from whence it began: in Scotland, at Glengoyne distillery outside Glasglow. Our twelfth and final bottle was chosen by Ronnie Cox, Brand Heritage Director for The Glenrothes and a sixth-generation whisky-maker.  Tasters like Glengoyne 17, one of the more obscure bottles in our collection, for its fruity character and lack of peat smoke (unusual in a Highland malt). &amp;quot;My choice is made for its sophistication and elegance, and it is Glengoyne 17-year-old. It is a highland distillery \u2014 just \u2014 and has never been subjected to the dominance of peat,&amp;quot; explains Cox. &amp;quot;Over time, and with the benefit of excellent wood policy, this brand has been prepared for stardom. In my view, there is no better expression of this distillery. Straightforward elegance with a delicious and fulfilling creamy mouthfeel. So good is it that, in a blind tasting, I thought it a Speysider!&amp;quot; For those who are bad at goodbyes, Cox offered a second choice \u2014 an honorary thirteenth bottle \u2014 The Balvenie DoubleWood.  Glengoyne 17 Year-Old, $64.95, Love Scotch "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
