Glendronach 15 Year Old Tawny Port Finish

Glendronach 12 Year Old Original

Pretty much the standard offering from the semi-independant Glendronach. I once had a sample of 9yo bourbon matured single cask Glendronach, so I knew their younger stuff could be very good. It made me want to try the sherry matured as well. This one comes unchillfiltered and no coloring agent was added, which is nice:) Picked it up for only €25,-...

GlenDronach 32 Year Old 1978 Oloroso Sherry Puncheon 1067

GlenDronach released a range of nice single casks every year. In 2001 they were at their 5th batch and one of the highlights was this 32 Year Old from 1978. The nose is soft and subtle. The sherry translates into wonderful notes of Seville oranges, black berries, raspberries, baked apples with a hint of nuts and mint. Actually quite a fresh nose...

GlenDronach 1971 single cask 489

Nose: compared to the 1978, it’s clearly darker and more candied.

Sugared nuts (hazelnuts, almonds). Fresh figs. Raisins. Milk chocolate mendiants. Oranges. A very light...

GlenDronach 1994 20 Year Old cask 2822

Nose: Bursting with sherry. Raisins, candied orange and chocolate. Plenty of thick treacle and, you know something, even a hint of smoke. Palate: Wow! What a mouthful. Warm, oily and chewy. Sherry, oranges again, cherries and Christmas cake flavours all intermingle for attention with a lovely liqourice background.. Perhaps a hint of almonds....
