This is one of the best 8 year drams I have ever had. I've begged Glendronach to release this in the USA. The nose brings a nice balance of fruit, sweetness, woody notes, and nuttiness. Pecans, cashews, walnuts come out to the forefront, along with honey and vanilla. I think the bourbon and sherry cask combination makes this a special glass. The palate is buttery, a pecan danish perfectly cooked, and sourdough. It's a thin mouth coat, but it's not bad. Outstanding long finish with caramel, mocha, and dark chocolate goodness. I'll put a 4.0 on it, and the theme will be a long sweet song... "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Definitely more than worth seeking out.
