Glendronach 18 Allardice Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glendronach whiskies are all amazing and certainly in my list of all-time favourite whiskies, particularly given the quality of the sherry-cask aged spirit and their price compared to Macallan and other larger brands. The 18yo release is aged exclusively in ex-Oloroso sherry casks, with loads of dense, chewy, fruity flavours. In my opinion, the Oloroso casks make this quite a bit less sweet than similarly aged sherried whiskies in PX (or similar) barrels. Definitely one to try, as it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Tasting Notes:Â
Nose – sultanas, dark chocolate, coffee, almonds
Palate – sultanas, spice, musk, dry oak
Finish – brown sugar, almonds, dry and gently tannic
