The Glendronach 14 Year Old Virgin Oak Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glendronach at its best. This is a 14 yr with 13 1/2 years in presumably a mix of sherry and American oak trailed by the most recent a half year in virgin oak. The virgin oak would give it an additional oomph in vanilla and wood flavors. Generally virgin oak werent truly acknowledged in scotch whisky since it has a conviction that itll cause youthful NAS whisky to appear to be progressively adult. So for Glendronach to utilize this as a completing and include an age explanation shows they truly werent attempting to hole up behind a youthful juvenile whisky. They utilized it shrewdly similar to a culinary specialist nimbly adding flavors to a dish. So this pour was given by my mate @LeeEvolved. Im particularly grateful on the grounds that this is currently difficult to track down ( at any rate for under $120 and not in the US). Nose is astounding. Like vanilla licorice. You get hazelnuts with vanilla dessert on the palette. Finish is LONG. Just waits in a touch of cinnamon taste. In the event that anything this would be great on the off chance that it werent for the fiery long finish...was a smidgen unreasonably long for my liking...but heck now Im simply criticizing. This is a great pour and on the off chance that you got it while it was accessible bust open it and drink with loved ones. Much appreciated Lee!

Ive been a GlenDronach fan for a long while now. Ive drank probably the most youthful juice and the absolute most established juice from this Good country refinery. I havent been let down all the time. This unique discharge multi year old was done in virgin American oak and conveys a to some degree robust sticker price ($116). Be that as it may I gotta state this positions up there with one of the greatest shock whiskies Ive had. This stuff is radiant! The appearance is copper gold-you can reveal to it spent its first 12.5-13 years in some fine sherry containers. It makes thick legs on account of the helped ABV of 46% and it deserts little dabs after you turn it around a piece. The nose is fine sherry and red organic products all up in your flame broil. The ABV catches your eye in the event that you go in excessively close however the sweet vanilla and new cut oak include a superb measurement that ordinarily isnt present in your common Dronach. The sense of taste is sweet red berries with a slight rich color that causes it to feel additional rich and debauched. The oak is more sweltering than I expected yet it just feels right when it shows up. Mid taste turns smooth and sweet with vanilla beans and sweet grapes. The mouthcoat is rich and smooth similar to an extraordinary treat. The completion waits on a piece excessively long and eventually completes drier than I trusted due to the general lavishness however it doesnt fundamentally wreck anything. A light butterscotch note sticks to the tongue as well. Marvelous. In general this one enticed me to make room in my Untouched Top 15-perhaps Top 10. The sticker price is marginally high for a youthful ish age articulation whisky-yet exemptions can and ought to be made here. This is a heavenly claim to fame GlenDronach. Search out a jug while they are as yet gliding around. In the event that you spot it under $95-100 and dont get it youre passing up an arrangement. 4.5 stars each day of the week. Good health.
