Reviewed November 26, 2022 (edited January 2, 2023)Have you ever heard the phrase "you will always find a perfect dram in a Glendronach Cask Strength bottling, no matter what"? You might have not heard it, since i just invented it. But luckily for my new phase of a "Phrase-maker", my statement is very true. There is an independent bottler called "Hart Brothers", which is famous for some very old, very fancy releases, that have bottled this 10yo Glendronach, at a very nice 56.5%abv from a single sherry butt, vintage 2011. On the nose, starts with a lovely coffee, dark chocolate and Tiramisu dessert. Then it released a "Sharpie" marker note. Wedding cake, fruitcake and red fruits. Cherries and grapes, figs bathed in chocolate and quince. WOW THIS IS SUPER COMPLEX. On the palate, a sherry wonderful madness. Cotton candy, dates and blackberry jam. Figs, raisins and slight sulphuric notes. Bubbletape gum. A second sip gave me white chocolate. The first sip was creamy, the second was oily! This is the first i have tasted that have changed its body from one sip to another. Amazing stuff. Aftertaste is powerful and it follows the same path as the nose and palate. Vainilla powder, raisins, figs, pepper and "Crazy dips" lollipop. Overall, this is pure perfection. Everyone in my tasting event loved it, and started searching for it online. I have to be honest, i've never had a Hart Brothers whisky before, and now i am eager to find more bottles of it. My score for it is one big 100 over 100.
