The Glendronach
12 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Category: Highland Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted: 9/19/2024

Country: Scotland

Alcohol: 43%

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of well worn leather, sherry butt with grilled stone fruit, dates, figs, and fruit cake, and manuka honey roasted cashews with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, elegant, medium-length finish with notes of leather, slight bitter chocolate and toasted multigrain bread, honey roasted nuts and baking spices, and earl grey tea. A delightfully youthful introductory Highland Single Malt that shows off the elegance and balance achievable using sherry barrels without having to hit you in the face like a sherry bomb.

About

Highland Single Malt Scotch

The Highlands consist of the portion of Scotland north of a line from Dundee on the North Sea coast in the east to Greenock on the Irish Sea in the west. Highland malt whiskies cover a broad spectrum of styles. They are generally aromatic, smooth and medium bodied, with palates that range from lushly complex to floral delicacy. The subregions of the Highlands include Speyside; the North, East and West Highlands.
