Glendronach "Master Yoda" Officially Bottled for Professional Danish Whisky Retailers

After Obi-Wan Kenobi passed, his force ghost version appeared to Luke Skywalker in Hoth, when he was about to die, and Kenobi's ghost told Luke to go to the Dagobah system, where he will meet the strongest jedi that have ever lived... Jedi Master Yoda. Now, The Glendronach, one of my all time favorite distilleries, made a special limited whisky for The Profesional Danish Whisky Retailers: a 12yo dram, matured in selected oloroso casks, which box and label had a recognizable color, Lightsaber Green. As you might already know, There are 4 unofficial Starwars expressions of The Glendronach: the 10yo Luke Skywalker; the 9yo Darth Vader; the 25yo Mace Windu and this 12yo Yoda. It was really the whisky enthusiasts who named the expressions that way, since Glendronach have never said one word about the free publicity of this very limited collection. It is widely accepted that the first one, the Luke Skywalker was not ever intended to be compared to his Lightsaber; but after the first unofficial comparison, the rest of the bottles were unequivocally released with a non-so-hidden intention. Bottled at 46%abv, using the power of the force. And if you don't believe it, that is why you fail. Lol. On the nose, a galactic aroma. Dates, figs, red fruits and milk powder. Beautiful cinnamon, plums, caramel and tobacco. Hazelnut with waffer. Almonds and Oloroso sherry. After a few sips, a quince dessert aroma has risen. There is this old Library feeling to it. On the palate, it is as good as you would expect. Chocolate, hazelnut, Red fruits; it is very astringent, grapy and winey. The second sip turned into a creamy chocolate with waffer. Super elegant stuff. Aftertaste is full of "midichlorians", the force is strong here. Winey, grapy, tobacco. This is a Glendronach with hints of smoke and a fancy bitterness. It is just incredible. Overall, don't be afraid to open this bottle if you ever find it. As Yoda once said, "Fear is the path to the dark side". To be absolutely clear on how good this whisky is, this single malt is 5 times better than the standard Glendronach 12 which is way sweeter, with strong notes vanilla cookies; this one is much more winey, grapy and chocolaty. My score for this legendary dram is 96 over 100. May the force be with you.
