Description

• The Glendronach distillery was founded in 1826, it was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland. Over the years of extended maturation, carefully seasoned casks have helped create the unique richly sherried style that Glendronach is famous for. On the nose, dark rum-soaked stone fruits like plums, peaches, and apricots. In time, the sherry presence dominates. Even though this whisky has been aged in both oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks, we see a sweet profile that’s native to the PX. On the palate, Mexican chocolate, hot pepper, watercress, oloroso sherry gains the upper hand, a fatty red meat note hangs back, as of beef brisket, wet ash, furniture polish, ginger snaps, black strap rum, vanilla bean, dry oaky tanins that turn bitter, along with anise.
