If sherried single malt is very much your thing, then GlenDronach is a name you should get to know very well. The distillery resides in the Highlands, busily working away on some incredible expressions, with sherried malt sitting at the core of many of them. This particular dram, The GlenDronach 12 Year Old, is allowed to age in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks from Spain, resulting in generous helpings of dried fruit and Christmas spice running through it.
Please note: We're afraid we can't guarantee which vintage you will receive. It'll still be yummy GlenDronach no matter the vintage, mind!
Rich cereals, struck match, raisin, cinnamon, caramelised sugar. Opens with some sweeter PX and lots of delicious raw ginger before becoming creamier with hazelnuts.
Fruits, peels, buttery. Pain au chocolat, a little marmalade on toast before becoming firmer and nuttier with spiced raisins.
Smoky toffee and nut brittle.

This is a honest basic sherry Whisky, which always was (and still is) in the front row of my whisky cabinet. There are slight variations of the bottlings, my last one of 2020 just needs some air. Still recommended - especially for 31 Euros! I stocked up after the recent owner (the US Brown-Forman Cooperation) seems to have decided to chill-filter and will probably dilute it down to 40% ABV. What a shame. 4* now. Zero* for the future plans.
Always in my pantry...delicious sherried goodness. have heard that it is going to get chill filtration and the addition of caramel...circa 2021...So I have just bought a case.
Having gone through 3 bottles of the 2019 batch which had become my favourite tipple, the 2020 bottling is very disappointing.
More flavorful than Aberlour 12 or Balvinie 12 . We all have our preferences, but I'd say get this over those.
Sherry bomb! #*&$ it is good though. Rivals the taste of Macallan 12 at 20 bucks less! Well worth it, and not to dog on Macallan 12 which is excellent its just more expensivd because of the name recognition, which again isnt a bad thing, but if youre looking to save money go with Glendronach 12.
