GlenDronach Port Wood

I’m a big fan of Glendronach. I’ve tried everything from the 12 up to the 21 and loved them all, so the Port Wood was a low risk purchase for me. It’s so complex with lovely spices, chocolate, dark fruits, toffee, and a touch of citrus to name a few of the tasting notes. A surprisingly long finish which tells me there’s probably some old whiskies in this. If you are a fan of Glendronach or just a fan of port finished scotch in general, go grab a bottle of this. You won’t regret it. Yes, $100 might seem expensive for a NAS whisky, but this is spectacular. Some people might say they can get the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban for less money (and that’s true) but this is head and shoulders above the Glenmo.

Delicious taste of port , and a long finish and a warmth that’s is great. Good stuff !

Nose: oaky, sweet hint of tobacco and banana Palette: rich oily, honey baked apple

Here again, the fruit forward nose is apparent with dried fig, date, raisin and current. The overall taste is of berries, chocolate, and plenty of oak. A delicate balance between these two elements passes back and forth. A dry and slightly creosote character brings things to a fine finish.

Best nose on a whiskey I’ve had. Amazing color and nose. Big fruit and sweetness but thin. Very tasty stuff.
