It has been proven. The new make spirit of Glendronach is the key for their marvelous whiskies. This one is a different expression of what normally Glendronach do, which are sherry matured drams. A bourbon and Tawny port cask maturation is the one used here and it fits perfectly with Glendronach's Profile.
Bottled at 46%abv, tawny color, exclusively made for "The Proffesional Danish Whisky Retailers" (the ones with the Star Wars Glendronach Collection).
On the nose, perfect score. Chocolate, oranges, hazelnut, milk powder, red fruits. It feels "dusty". Cork, humidity, arabian sweets. After a first sip it gave me wedding cake, chocolate cake, vanilla, grainy powerbars and marzipan.
On the palate it is very buttery. Peanut butter, butterscotch, red fruits and red cranberries. Very winey, pecans and fruity flavors.
Aftertaste is very complex, changing with each sip. Red fruits, chocolate powder, hazelnuts, hanuta. pepper, dim salt and ginger. Prunes. Dry, medium long finish.
Overall, this, as most Glendronachs, is a wonderful whisky. Super enjoyable and full of complexity, it feels older than 10 years old. This is a little hard to find which is always a problem. My score for this beauty is a solid 96 over 100.
