Glendronach is heaven for whisky lovers. Everyone who has ever tasted something from this distillery, loved it. I finally went to the distillery and my wallet showed me two options: you either go for the 26yo hand filled bottle, or the 1993, 25yo Master Vintage. I went for the first one, (and i nailed it), but two days later, i found this bottle on the restaurant in the Scotch Whisky Museum in Edinburgh, and i tasted it. As always a good whisky, but i believe the core expressions, the 18yo and 21yo are better. Well... i think those two are my favorite two whiskies ever so i might be biased. Well, this beauty is 48.2%abv and has a chesnut color. On the nose, is where it is most weak, even if it doesn't feel weak at all. Glazed pork, Tobacco, Vanilla; Sherriness take some time to open. Coffee,Toffee, Orange caramel and Chocolate. Mostly a 15yo glendronach aroma profile. On the palate, Figs, Sweet Chocolate, Cherries, Milk powder and Dulce de leche. Beautiful Aftertaste is all about three notes, but very pleasant: tobacco - chocolate - pepper. Overall this is a great dram, but it is super expensive for what it is. It goes for £275 which is about $350 and that gets you two or maybe 3 (with some luck) glendronach 18yo bottles. My score on it is 91 over 100.
