by 
GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7 Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 57.9%. Tasted at Whisky a Dy HQ, $134 (bottle).
After a brief hiatus, it’s time we got back into some serious whisky tasting. And what better way to kick in the front door on your tastebuds than with a GlenDronach Cask Strength Single Malt!
Colour: Deep fried golden batter.
Nose: Sweet strawberries and cream. Like ripping open a fresh bag of the lollies, not the fresh stuff.
Palate: Like some warm salted caramel sauce that oozes across your tastebuds and then down your throat to warm your chest. A touch of oak and spices – think soft flavours of cloves, cinnamon & black pepper overlaid the caramel notes.
Finish: Brown sugar and a spicy tingle on the front half of the tongue that lingers tantalisingly long after the flavours fade away.
Comments: The perfect dram for a cold winter’s afternoon.
