Glendronach 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 2022 Release 43%

The Glendronach 12 Year Old is the youngest age statement release in the core range. Matured for at least 12 years in Oloroso sherry casks gives it a sweet and creamy taste.

Whisky is all about bringing memories to you. This wonderful dram does that. Glendronach is one of my favourite distilleries and this 12yo expression is worth every penny you pay for it. Bottled at a fine 43%abv, a beautiful chestnut color. On the nose is very appealing, creamy vanilla cookies, cinnamon, sherry, COOKIE DOUGH (it totally reminds me of this, when my mom prepared it to make a lemon pie),  prunes, very perfurmed, great aroma: sweet, citric and spicy.

On the palate, it is a wonderful dram. Creamy sensation, like a grain whisky but full of flavor as a malt. A pleasant herbal note, prunes. Mostly cream and vanilla. The after taste is medium long, with clove and cream. Really interesting. I truly recommend this,  it is very enjoyable. 86 over 100 is a fair score for it.
