    The GlenDronach 12 Year Old (old bottling)

    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.

    Lacking in finish

    Wanted to love this but it's just missing something. A little empty, and a short finish. Not wowed

    Enjoyable and rewarding

    Very smooth, yet fruitful! Matured and very easy to drink

    Tessa Hedley Feb 12, 2020

    Really enjoyable quality dram

    Beautiful sweet fruity nose and reasonably complex sweet fruity palate. Succesful maturation in active casks, what some call "smooth" in an unspecific way I guess. PX casks add a good depth and supplements the Oloroso beautifully. Good blending of casks. Its not going to scare novices and theres enough here for experienced malt mates to enjoy. Maybe what others call "easy to drink." Cask quality appears to be a bit above what is currently average. Not sure if its sherry seasoned or matured casks or a mix. Perhaps comparable to current Springbank wet sherry cask quality. No traces of charcoally reconditioned cask flavor. Basically quality all around. Spirit influence is mild and pleasant. I choose this over Macallan where prices are offensive compared to what you get. Here the quality does the marketing. I feel good buying this and will do it again.

    Fabulous

    Been drinking this for a long time. Have yet to find anything to match it. A fabulous tipple drank neat.

    The best I’ve tasted

    Before I tried this, my favorites where Chivas Regal 18 and Glenfiddich 15. This scotch beats everything I’ve had so far. Granted, I haven’t had a ton, but this is worth a try!
