Glendronach 1/15/93 23 year cask #41 Nose- Rich, thick dark fruits (plums, cherries, pomegranates); cinnamon; raisins; tobacco leaf; dark chocolate; cedar wood Palate- Initial wave of baking spices; walnuts; dark chocolate; rum soaked raisins; juicy dark plums; wood spice Finish- Long, juicy finish; cedar wood; dark chocolate; tobacco Nice heavily sherried glendronach. Good stuff overall, but doesn’t quite live up to the hype the 1993 release gets. Lovely sherry influence on the nose (dark fruits, raisins, dark chocolate), along with baking spice and oak. The palate starts off with a wave of spice, which is quickly overtaken by a nutty walnut influence. The sherry then arrives on the palate in full force, leading to a long, juicy finish. More dark chocolate, along with more cedar wood and tobacco rounds it out. Believe me, this is a fantastic pour. One that any scotch aficionado would be lucky to have, but the hype it receives is a little overwhelming.
