Tasting one young Glendronach

Another young sherried Glendronach, much like the "cask in a van"-editions we see these days. Except for the travelling of course.




















Glendronach 9yo 1987-1997 58.5% Signatory Vintage cask#57 btl.610/1230

From a sherry butt. Deep red-amber hue. It smells of honey, peppery, cinnamon, orange zest, oaky, lemon juice, spicy, chillies. The taste is sweet, peppery, soft licorice, needs a bit of water. Now it turns more leathery, cinnamon, honey, malt syrup, cane sugar, peas, earthy, great sherries expression. Now, I must say, having had the recent OB line-up the other day, Glendronach seems to be a whisky that really needs some water.

Sherry perfection: 8
