Review of the
GlenDronach 1989 Cask No.5476 28 Year
Old.
 The
GlenDronach 2006 Cask No.1979 11 Year
old is one of 15 new limited edition
whiskies in Batch 16 of GlenDronach's
popular Single Cask series of whiskies.
Fully matured in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry
Puncheon it was selected by GlenDronach
Master Blender, Rachel Barrie as part of
this latest batch of single cask
releases.
Non chill-filtered and natural colour
this PX sherry cask matured whisky was bottled at
49.9%
ABV, it is a limited release of 546
bottles and will be available from specialist whisky shops such as
Master of Malt while stocks last.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
A mix of plum and apricot, mildly spicy
toffee apple and dark chocolate raisins.
Taste:
A lovely smooth delivery of dark but not
heavily sherried fruit - burnt raisins
and sultanas, orange, nutty, a light
touch of vanilla behind the lovely dark
fruit a little touch of honey. Late
arrival of some smoky bacon.
Finish:
Deliciously long, the fruit bows out
leaving an earthy, cigar box, drying
mature oakiness.
Comment:
Not as heavily sherried as you may think
given its 28 years in the cask, a more
elegantly sherried, very enjoyable, mature
GlenDronach.
SMW Score
