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.

Really fantastic sherry cask dram, great value for your money.
Gorgeous whisky has to be one of my favourites
Really a nice sweet and smooth sherry cask dram, lots of nuances. Great quality vs. price.
Rich caramel, hints of nuts and slight fruit and florals. Glencairn horizontal, on the nose with Glencairn verticle, caramel on top, malted barley under rim; nutty, oaky and spicy on bottom third with a hint of smoke. Flavor starts spicy, moves into oaky and then nutty. Finishes sweet with fruits and florals.
Average scotch i'd say. It's not bad but it's nothing special for me either. Maybe i'm not ready for it yet.
