Aromas of prune brandy, bakery shop, honey, nuts, dried strawberry and dried orange peel. The palate is smooth, silky, pretty with good complexity. D&M Tasting Notes
Second Maturation in port barrels
Our malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and traditional wooden washbacks form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Our elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the richest spirit which is then filled into the finest casks and left patiently maturing in our warehouses. Nearly 70% of the flavour in whisky is derived from the cask it has been matured in. Wood’s important, which is why we adopt a ‘no compromise’ approach when choosing our world renowned sherry casks to enrich our whisky. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that The GlenDronach is famous for.
Tis was just the season for fruit cake, boxes of citrus deliveries, and gift boxes filled with dried fruits and chocolates. To keep the flavor theme going, you can chase down a bottle of The GlenDronach Port Wood. The rich fruity notes and well-timed heat of this single malt delivers the Highland experience, taking you on a journey across the ocean, away from the land of whiskey, to the land of whisky. The Whiskey Wash
It was initially “matured in the distillery’s signature Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, followed by a second maturation in some of the finest port pipes from the majestic Douro Valley in Portugal.” Non age statement.
