The GlenDronach - Platinum - 16 Year Old | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

COLOR:
Tawny to mahogany with many thick legs.

NOSE:
Soft, spicy and rich with lovely spicy stewed fruits and cinnamoned apples. With time in the glass one gets sweetness as well as dates (date loaf bread), prunes, sultanas and dark chocolate. Soft coffee notes in background together with some citrus zest.

TASTE:
Smooth and spicy (tip and side of tongue) while also being dry and astringent, but not overly so. Divine dark coffee chocolate on edge of Taste with a lovely ginger and cinnamon (fire ball sweets) bite combined with some coffee and smoke. More of the expected rich stewed and dried fruits with that lovely sweetness towards the end.

FINISH:
Very rich and drying Finish, combined with the ‘warm heart’, makes it long and satisfying.

OVERALL:
A beauty of a sherried whisky that could be enjoyed at any time, however it seems to be perfectly made for enjoyment around a roaring fire on a cold winter’s night while one contemplates all of life’s little mysteries.
