Brace yourselves, this is a perfect whisky. Continuing my series of whisky reviews that i had the opportunity to taste at the Glendronach Distillery, the lads working there really had a surprise for us. Another 27yo single cask, but this time one a 1992 Port Pipe cask matured. Bottled at 48%abv, only 853 were ever drawn from the cask #5897.
On the nose, everything is red. Red fruits, red berries, cranberries (not the rock band), cream and Red wine. After a first sip, the aroma changed into an amazing raspberry and Tiramisu dessert.
The palate follows the red path. Red wine with impalpable sugar; strawberries, red Berries, Blackberries and raisins. It is a dream dram. Creamy vanilla as well.
Aftertaste is the epitome of the whole whisky. Red fruitiness, ginger spice (not Geri Halliwell, lol) Port wine. It is just Amazing i wanna die here and be the ghost that haunts the Glendronach Manor, (which actually happens to be haunted by a spanish red dressed lady, don't believe me, just google it) (we took a picture of the haunted place). This can be described as a hazelnut monster.
Overall, this will be in my top ten list of this year, an incredible dram, full of flavor and complexity. The red fruitiness, the sweetness and the spiciness makes this one a true jewel. My score for it is 100 over 100, Glendronach does it again. Slàinte!
