Listen to me, i will spoil the conclusion of this whisky review. Go now and buy this single malt. It will change your whisky life; it is a terrific whisky as most Glendronachs, and it will certainly be in my top 5 whiskies tasted in 2023.
Having said all that, Glendronach Batch 11, is a natural cask strength single malt bottled at 59.8%abv for extra flavor :)
It was matured in Oloroso sherry casks and Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks, which has provided a lovely chesnut color to this baby.
Nose is perfect.
Palate is perfect.
Aftertaste is perfect.
Balance is perfect.
Well, that is it, this whisky has been reviewed.
Kidding aside, on the nose this is the most velevety sweet thing ever. Hazelnut, orange jam, figs, quince and something that i can only describe as a whisky chocolate. Almonds, school glue, coffee and cocoa. Marvelous. After a first sip, the aroma changed into red fruits, cranberries, Rum and raisins and the wonderful marmalade with chilli. Smores. It is incredible.
On the palate, the show continues. Hazelnut, chocolate, wasabi, raisins. It has thisn winey profile; dates and impalpable sugar. Blackberry marmalade and red fruits. Caramel custard; Stroofwaffles. All of that, super clean flavors, powerful, beautiful.
Aftertaste has a spicy profile that suits amazingly here. Chilli peppers, fruitspice, raisins. A dim saltiness and ginger. Invincible.
Overall, this is a whisky from other planet. Glendronach is my favorite distillery, and they have given me some outstanding jewels like this one. You should find this, buy a couple of bottles and just enjoy it. I cant even score this because 100 points wouldn't even make justice for it. Slàinte Mhath my friends!!!
