Description
THE GLENDRONACH ORIGINAL BILLY WALKER 12Y 70CL
If sherried single malt is very much your thing, then GlenDronach is a name you should get to know very well. The distillery resides in the Highlands, busily working away on some incredible expressions, with sherried malt sitting at the core of many of them.
This particular dram, The GlenDronach 12-Year-Old, is allowed to age in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks from Spain, resulting in generous helpings of dried fruit and Christmas spice running through it.
Please note: We’re afraid we can’t guarantee which vintage you will receive. It’ll still be yummy GlenDronach no matter the vintage, mind!
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich cereals, struck match, raisin, cinnamon, caramelized sugar. Opens with some sweeter PX and lots of delicious raw ginger before becoming creamier with hazelnuts.
Palate: Fruits, peels, buttery. Pain au chocolat, a little marmalade on toast before becoming firmer and nuttier with spiced raisins.
Finish: Smoky toffee and nut brittle.
