GlenDronach Original 12 Year

Less sherry than expected. Revisit.

This whisky is almost great because sometimes you are keen to drink sweet whisky, sometimes you are looking for something spicy. Glendronach original gives your both. This is a nice masterpiece of a cherry maturation style whisky, but if you are looking for something peaty, or a strong character you need to keep on searching. In the nose is really sweet - sometimes it’s too much sweet, but if you like the Sweet drums, it is definitely a good choice. Sherry maturation is really dominating with raisin, nutmeg, cinnamon characters. You can also find vermouth like characters (this is what I didn’t like, sometimes I find it too harsh) On the palate, exactly the same, with some bitterness (and very slight chocolate if you are really I want to find this test component). We can say the taste is absolute in harmony with the nose, on the other hand I miss something extra. The finish is long enough leaving delicate oaky, sherry smoothness in your mouth.
