A dense, heavily-sherried dram from a distillery now producing again after a six-year layoff. A malt best suited to after-dinner sipping. 

• NOSE

  Sweet, rich and spicy fruit, with sugared lemons and limes, granny smith apples, honey and caramel.

• PALATE

  Toffee sweetness, apples, a hint of vanilla and a rich dark fruit background. Water lightens things with more orchard fruit, but without diminishing the richness of the dark fruit hiding underneath.

• FINISH

  Dusty wood, raisins and sweet fruit leaves.

• COMMENTS

  A solid sherried whisky sitting at the bottom of the Glendronach range but punching above well above its price-point.
