GlenDronach Original 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed January 12, 2021 (edited March 22, 2021)Nose: Bold and Complex on the nose, dark Christmas fruits such as raisins and currents. With hints of caramel and slight smoke Taste: smooth and almost chewy with dark burnt caramel and vanilla at the front, with the Christmas cake fruits lingering at the back, and an overall subtle hint of charred barrel smoke. Overall: Excellent Whisky, right up there for me! Has a lovely smooth feel with caramel and creamy vanilla, but this compliments the dark fruits of Christmas and slight oak smoke notes, overall it has that sweet taste with a bit of power behind it. -
Nose: brown sugar and slightly burnt caramel are strong, Toffee and Vanilla come through. Taste: Toffee and Vanilla are dominant, caramel is there and a hint of Citrus fruits add the bite. Overall: One of my favourites, lovely toasty Caramel flavours with vanilla and toffee make this a moorish creamy Dram, just a subtle hint of citrus fruit to break the creaminess up.
