GlenDronach Platinum 16 Year

Single Malt — Highland, Scotland

Reviewed June 10, 2022 (edited July 24, 2022)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
My friends, guess what, this humble ecuadorian has arrived for the second time to one of the greatest distilleries of the planet, The magnificent, GLENDRONACH. I will now proceed to review some incredible whiskies i had the chance to taste, specially one that deserves the title of "the best whisky i have ever tasted". I will start my series of incredible Glendronachs, with one super hard to find, an expression that was only released for the Taiwan Market, the 16yo Glendronach Platinium. Bottled at 48%abv. On the nose, it starts with a perfect orange leaf note.  Stewed apples, cream, cookies and vanilla dough. After a first sip, the oranges went berserk. Nice. On the palate, it starts a little watery, but then a very refined milk chocolate appeared. Lemon, vanilla cookie dough and a citric leaf. Aftertaste was beautiful. Ginger, chocolate, salt and some sulphur notes. Balanced, delicious. Overall, this is a very expensive bottle, that is not very complex, but definitively delicious. I got to say i have had better Glendronachs, specially in their core range. A very good dram that could be a lot better. This is one very rare bottle, that i am glad i have had. My score for this beauty, is 91 over 100.
