Rosencrantz

GlenDronach The Hielan' 8 Year

Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Reviewed March 30, 2020 (edited April 15, 2020)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
The smell is preeminently sherried, with prunes, black cherries, milk chocolate, nutmeg and a touch of licorice. Butter biscuits. Yeast is very present, almost like smelling a freshly made dough. Young, simple, but pleasant. And it is the malt that makes itself felt on the palate, always loaded with yeast, and carries herbaceous hints and a lot of almonds. Licorice, a pinch of ginger, vanilla. Pain au chocolat and a lemon touch. Full-bodied and fat, sweet but not cloying. The finish is medium long, of bread, almonds and licorice with a wooden background. Young but already with clear ideas, he is in first grade but has chosen which college to go to. GlenDronach's skill can also be seen here, the ability to make a young whisky interesting and tasty, with its own personality in which the defects of low maturation become qualities.
