"This is an impressive whisky from Glendronach and one that fans of sherried single malts will really enjoy. The Ruby Port casks have also added an extra dimension to the flavour profile. It exhibits a lovely sweet, dry, fruity and nutty balance, albeit with a late peppery kick. The alcohol is superbly intergrated and the whisky drinks well at this strength." - Whisky For Everyone

"The aromas of this whisky are reminiscent of a summer fruit pie (cooked apricots, peaches, quince, plums) with a buttery crust that is cooling on a window sill open to a garden of orange blossom trees. More bright fruit grabs the palate with back notes of marzipan, tonka bean, baking spices, dried dates, and apricot. The bright medium-bodied flavor profile finishes with a buttery salinity." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (91 Points)
