This about as close as you can get to a Macallan killer without paying a premium price for it. As part of our little Scotch Distillery tour adventure, I had the fortune of trying this sample (thank you Lee!). I'm beginning to become a huge fan of port finishes---this one surely doesn't disappoint. If you like the aromas of fruit pastry, this is right up your alley. Tastes just as good..chocolate, coffee, with that port influenced fruity backbone. Considering the dual cask treatment, the price, and the age...this has to be a great VFM.

Damn I'm envious. Had the Glendronach Virgin Oak 14 year couple of weeks back and it was great. No sign of the Port finish in NZ unfortunately, nor the Masarla.
I'm looking forward to sitting down and spending some quality time with the rest of this bottle for sure. I really like GlenDronach overall- the spice profile in every other whisky I've had from them really kept my interest while I was drinking those bottles down, as well. Throw in the Port wine treatment and I have even higher expectations. It seems like the 15yo 'Dronach's are becoming harder and harder to find so I'm gonna make the rest of this bottle count. I'm glad to hear you guys enjoyed this one. Great review, Pranay. Cheers.
Yeah, that's on my list next---probably this Fri eve.
Wait until you try that jeffersons groth cask. Wonderful fruity bourbon. I'll be having this one soon enough
