GlenDronach Allardice 18 Year

deep rich caramel with a spicy finish

Tried this at the whisky extravaganza. Amazing. Among my favorites of the night. Has notes of sherried fruits, nuts, spices, and chocolate. The 84 rating is bogus, considering the 12 was a 91 and this is even better than the already great 12 year. It doesn't help that Stephanie Moreno is the chief editor and she can do whatever she wants. Must try the 21 and single cask offerings whenever I have the chance.

Sherry BOMB

Nose: sherry, fruits, sweetness, caramel, honey, vanilla, plum, licorice Taste: smooth, oily, sherry, raisins, vanilla, honey, little bit of dried fruit Finish: not lingering, a bit of dried fruit Overall: 85/100 — nose is amazing, nice and smooth mouthfeel with a great taste. But the finish is nothing special. For me it was short. That kept it from being exceptional. Good not fantastic.

Sweet aroma. Light and airy with nice sherry sweetness. Super smooth leave.
