Tasting Notes From The GlenDronach Website:
NOSE: Rounded waves of orange blossom and a citrus twist flow over buttery, golden sultanas, sundried raisins and ripe yellow plums; all dusted with a touch of vanilla.
PALATE: Crisp, vibrant oak spices warm soaked sultanas, apricot jam and gingerbread; all rounded by delicate hints of butterscotch, cocoa and toasted almonds.
CONCLUSION: Classic sherry overtones with a contrasting crisp dimension demonstrate the complexity of the traditional Highland character.
Colour: Non-chill filtered, of natural colour: Amber with a burnished copper glow.
TransparentSmoke Review: Sherry forward and everything you expect from GlenDronach. But I keep getting hit by a ethanol forwardness that distracts till you let it sit for 8-10 mins. But who can let a whiskey sit for that long! This is no 12 year, but it is good.
