Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • Nose

      Rounded waves of orange blossom and a citrus twist flow over buttery, golden sultanas, sundried raisins and ripe yellow plums; all dusted with a touch of vanilla.

    • Palate

      Crisp, vibrant oak spices warm soaked sultanas, apricot jam and gingerbread; all rounded by delicate hints of butterscotch, cocoa and toasted almonds.

    • Finish

      Classic sherry overtones with a contrasting crisp dimension demonstrate the complexity of the traditional Highland character.

    Barbara,

    Tried the flight of tastes, and I loved it at the Whiskey Tasting in Edinburgh, brought it home to NJ, and just shared it last night with new friends. Lovely neat. Appreciated by all.

    razvanaldo,

    Really really enjoyable young whisky! The nose is incredible, very intense and very rich in sweet and fruity aromas. The mouth-fill and finish have really impressed me!

    John,

    Love Glendronach. Haven't had them all but favourite is Revival but can't get it at the moment. Bought this today from the Covent Garden shop to try and it's lovely. Not too sweet and for the price a nice dram. Would buy again.

    Anonymous,

    Wonderful whisky, I tried the 8,12 and 15 yo from Glendronach and although I liked the 15 yo best, the 8 year old is still brilliant. It has a nice palate, with a lot of orange and citrus notes and a bit vanilla, I also really like the finish where you can reallly taste the oak. Glendronach is just a wonderful distillery who are not afraid to make a age statement and do not colour or chill filter their whisky.

    Ad(r)am,

    Vinegar and alcohol burn?! Absolutely not. This is as rich as a well fed christmas cake and almost as juicy. Don't get carried away with the age, as most non age statement whiskies are around 3 years old anyway. Glendronach rarely disappoints, and this, particularly for the price, is excellent. Lots of orange notes tis true, and a long finish. Definite 5 stars!
