GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 23 April 2022). Nose: Nutty, orange, mocha coffee, dry fruits Palate: Fruit cake, Christmassy, chocolate cherries, orange zest, chocolate raisins, crystallised ginger. Strongly sherried. Finish: Medium finish. Stone fruits, dates, leather, chocolate/cocoa, coffee. Sherry-sherry-sherry!!! Sours on the aftertaste. PX & Oloroso sherry casks This is a heavy, mouthcoating sherry-bomb! Lots of cocoa, chocolate and dried fruit notes. You really notice the cask strength, it has a slightly harsher feel on the palate for it. Very tasty, chewy and unctuous. Good dram. Came joint second out of the six drams, with 14% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 50% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. There was a lot of negative talk in the chat rooms about the how the ownership of Glendronach now distribute the bottles, which could have negatively impacted the score.

Rich, medium oak, sherry, spicy, feels younger like 8-10 yrs but liked it better than batch 7-8

N: coffee, Christmas cake, rich dark chocolate, toasty P: jammy, raisins and bakery spice, a little water stretches this and delivers cherry. To say this is a rich is a little understated. F: long, warm ginger spice. More jamminess. Distiller whisky taste #12
