Glendronach Port Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky

(Master Blender: Dr. Rachel Barrie)

Aromas of prune brandy, bakery shop, honey, nuts, dried strawberry and dried orange peel. The palate is smooth, silky and pretty with good complexity. - D&M TASTING NOTES

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Port Wood is a limited-edition 10 year old expression, matured in Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry casks, followed by a port pipe finish. Gingerbread, figs, dried apricot, and honey on the nose. Viscous, with sweet orange notes on the palate, milk chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. Hazelnuts, cherry pie, and sultanas in the medium-length finish.” - 90 PTS, GAVIN SMITH, WHISKY ADVOCATE (Fall 2019)

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The Glendronach Port Wood is inspired by the historical import of casked port into Scotland during the 19th century. During the 1800s, port was ‘de rigueur’, and many of the finest port pipes would travel from Portugal, down its Douro River, destined for the wine cellars of Scotland’s gentry. Whilst many years have passed, Portugal’s majestic Douro Valley is still renowned for its exceptional port.”

TASTING - “COLOUR - Intense cherry wood; AROMA - Breathe in delightful waves of Victoria plum, bramble and strawberry jam with top notes of cherry blossom and honeysuckle on a base of sandalwood and ginger; PALATE - Layers upon layers of rich fruits. Sip blackberry and roasted apple crumble with freshly baked gingerbread, developing into a baked orange and black cherry back-note.”
