Glendronach 12 Year Old Sherry Cask

GlenDronach 12 Year Old is a distinctive Highland single malt, aged exclusively in Spanish sherry casks of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, making it a typical "sherry" expression.

Bottled at 43% ABV, with no added coloring, featuring a natural color and (in the past) without chill filtration.

The nose is dominated by dried fruits (raisins, figs), orange peels, caramelized sugar, spices like cinnamon and clove, a subtle nutty hint, and a touch of oak. In the background, delicate notes of ginger, roasted nuts, and creaminess emerge.

On the palate, the whisky is full, sweet with a strong sherry presence: fruity notes (raisins, dried plums), marzipan, orange jam, nougat, vanilla and gentle spices (ginger, black pepper). The finish is quite long and balanced, with echoes of dark chocolate, caramel, nuts and a spicy touch of pepper.

Best served neat, at room temperature - a few drops of water can help open up the fruity and spicy layers, but don't overdo it to maintain the intensity.
