The GlenDronach 12 Year Old (old bottling) Whisky
Customer Rating
“I've read a few negatives on this whisky and the only conclusion I can come to is that they were written by those that drink Bells or Teachers. This is an absolutely delicious whisky that is crammed full with all the festive fruits of a christmas cake. It has a sweet honey taste with a bundle of candied fruits thrown in. There's a nice spicy kick of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg that's finished off with a well rounded sherry cask taste. It's literally christmas pudding in a bottle. Gorgeous!”

Description
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Rich cereals, struck match, raisin, cinnamon, caramelised sugar. Opens with some sweeter PX and lots of delicious raw ginger before becoming creamier with hazelnuts.
Palate
Fruits, peels, buttery. Pain au chocolat, a little marmalade on toast before becoming firmer and nuttier with spiced raisins.
Finish
Smoky toffee and nut brittle.
