GlenDronach 12 Review and Tasting Notes

The Story

As an avowed sherry lover and big time fan of the Aberlour A'bunadh and the Dalmore's 15 year offering, it was only a matter of time before I made my way over to GlenDronach.  When sherried malts are the topic discussion, the GlenDronach drams always find their way into the conversation of the sherriest of the sherries.  It even calls itself "The Sherry Cask Connoisseur."

Although it has clearly earned this reputation, recently GlenDronach has followed the Glenmorangie path and begun to produce other wine cask finished expressions, including Sauternes, Port, and Madeira.  I, for one, would love to try those, bank account permitting.

GlenDronach's 12 year expression is exclusively aged in sherry casks, a mix of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso.
